Chapter 545 The U.S. Army with Separation of Officers and Soldiers

"What nonsense! Is that where you should go?"

Before Carter could finish his sentence, he received a slap on the back of the head.Turning around, I saw Lieutenant McGuire standing behind Carter with a smile.
"Student lieutenant, although you can't be considered a formal army officer, how can you say that you have already stepped into the threshold of an officer. Especially your behavior, attitude, the captain and we all agree, you don't need to go to the soldier's restaurant, that will It is detrimental to the dignity of the officer!"

ha? !

Going to the soldier's restaurant to eat will damage the dignity of the officer? !
This bizarre argument brought a lot of psychological shock to Carter.But still the same sentence, "if you are not familiar with it, talk less".
Unable to resist the kindness of McGuire and the others, Carter graciously accepted the reality that he had breakfast for nothing.Then follow everyone back to the company headquarters, intending to observe and observe first
After returning to the office, the day's work officially began.

As a guy who joined midway, under the premise that Company C already had a complete training plan.The job was not difficult, as Lieutenant McGuire said.

Take a watch and go to the training grounds of each row.Check whether the training of each platoon is going according to plan, then roughly evaluate the quality and effect of the training, and ask the platoon leader or platoon sergeant to sign. The quality management of the training work is over.

After lunch, continue this routine in the afternoon.As for the company commander, he disappeared without a trace. Apart from occasionally helping McGuire receive a few soldiers who came to the company headquarters to report problems, this job is really easy.
Almost all of them are small things that take time but are basically not difficult.Even in his job, the management and supervision of training quality, the training ground in Vicenza is not very good.Advanced team coordination tactics, infantry combat vehicle coordination, etc. can be practiced, and the US military really does not regard money as money in training.
It's not normal to hear the roar of a wheeled infantry vehicle one day.However, the scope is relatively limited, not as gorgeous as in blockbuster movies; tactical training, if viewed alone, is relatively simple, after all, not everyone is John Rambo.
A day's training for the soldiers will basically end around six in the afternoon.After dinner, in addition to preparing for the next day's training, it is time for personal activities. You can rest, play, write letters, talk to the chaplain with the army, do ideological work, etc. At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights are turned off on time.

It's too early to turn off the lights, let alone Carter can't fall asleep, many soldiers have difficulty falling asleep.After all, this is not the new training stage. Doing this during the new training period will consume a lot of physical energy and energy, and I will sleep right away from the bed, but now...
"Let's go, go to the camp! I'll show you around!"

"Okay, come on!"

Putting on the watch he had just taken off, Carter opened the door, followed Sergeant Crespo, and walked towards the soldiers' barracks.This old sergeant major who has served for more than fifteen years is the soul of this company.

In business terms, this one is the core of this company, the KOL of this company.Wanting to live a comfortable life, Carter still respects this sergeant major.
"SGT, I would like to ask why the lights-off time here is the same as during the new training. Soldiers shouldn't be able to sleep so early, right?"

"If you only look at our side, this time design is really unreasonable. But as for the task force, we have to take care of the situation on the navy and air force side. When the headquarters formulates the work and rest schedule, it can't look at us alone, can it?"

"Yeah, that's right. There's one more thing. I said in the morning that I'm going to eat in the cafeteria. McGuire seems very unhappy, and you."

"Hahaha, this is indeed your problem. You should have studied the Army Code, right? You probably haven't experienced combat skills training yet, but the basic content."

"I've learned this, but I think the regulations just don't allow officers to borrow money from soldiers, etc."

Carter thought about it, the teachings he had heard at the Nathan Hale Camp, and his own understanding of the profession of an officer:
"The colonel of the Nathan Hale Battalion did say that it is not recommended that we have a deep personal relationship with soldiers, or establish a close relationship with soldiers in a personal capacity, but I don't quite understand why? As an officer, when you walk into soldiers Is it possible to go to China?"

Love soldiers like children, take the lead, eat the same meals as soldiers, etc. These behaviors are what an excellent officer should possess in Carter's education and thinking.As a result, when it came to the US military, everything was reversed.
The U.S. Army even prohibited the close contact between officers and soldiers in the form of codes. This is what Carter didn't understand the most throughout the day today.At this time, it was rare to have a time alone with the old sergeant major, and Carter couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.

"Ha, this should be thinking. As you said, you should go to the Marine Corps. The officers of the Marine Corps are just like what you said. They train and live with the soldiers, but remember, this is the case in the Army. It won’t work! The Army implements the separation of officers and soldiers, and we believe that the duty of an officer is to command and guide the direction of the unit.”

"You just need to keep calm, think correctly, and lead our team in the right direction. Moreover, if you have too much contact with soldiers, you will inevitably become close and distant, which is not good for fairness, even if you can Guaranteed to treat every soldier fairly and not be swayed by personal emotions, but it cannot be guaranteed to be the same for everyone."

Before entering the soldiers' barracks, the old sergeant major suddenly turned his head and said a word:

"In the Army, the company is run by officers, but soldiers are run by us sergeants. As long as we work together, you don't need to waste more energy on soldiers, do you?"

The managers of companies are officers and the managers of soldiers are sergeants
Savoring the words of the old sergeant major, Carter quickly followed.
In fact, there is nothing commendable about patrolling the camp. It is nothing more than coming to see if the soldiers are fighting too much.Great, just a few words to urge you to rest early, and it's over
From the perspective of separation of powers and responsibilities, the person in charge of the soldiers' barracks is the training sergeant, usually a sergeant with the rank of sergeant.Each platoon will send two rotating soldiers as sentries, and cooperate with the barracks chief CQ to be responsible for the safety of personnel and equipment in the barracks area at night.

When entering and leaving the barracks, even if it is an officer visiting the camp, or a senior sergeant major, Carter and Carter need to report to the CQ on duty
Walking in the dark and noisy barracks, enduring all kinds of foot odor, Carter briefly chatted with several soldiers.Non-painful and innocuous questions such as "are you tired from training" and "why don't you rest?" are neither nutritious nor tendentious, and are not within the scope of excessive close communication prohibited by the Army Code
But again, after such a lap, apart from learning more about the system of some US infantry companies, Carter has nothing to gain.
