Rogue's Gallery: 0017 Lt. Col Munster

The guys I have here are pretty low on the morale side I mean we have been kicked around and pretty much treated like shit by the Marines and our management. I've been between trying to corral these guys into some sort of competent engineering team with what we have and trying to stem the tide from full on mutiny. Out of nowhere our saviour (of sorts) arrives. When I was in Fallujah I was pretty much working side by side and day by day with the highest echelon of officer I could get to. The main reason I was so pissed about moving from Fallujah to Incompentent town was because my efforts in Fallujah with senior officers was what was getting my staff what they needed as far as support. The senior officers pretty much cut through the crap to get me what I needed. Figuring that I am a GS-13 that is actually the level I should be on. At anyrate this is going away from who Lt. Col Munster is.

By the time I got to Incompentent Town I was able to work my way to his office and get and audience with him, I had met him before when he was in Fallujah and it appeared that he had big plans for all the Field Engineers in country. The first thing we got from him was that he looks just like Herman Munster. It was quite bizzare to take instructions from him because basically he looked like a character from a campy 60's TV show.

That being said he had a plan for us and he was the first person that I actually worked with who actually cared enough to get something done for us.

He pretty much defined how the Marines view us here as contractors. This is actually what he said and I quote

"Marines don't give a shit about you they don't care where you sleep, where you eat, how you get around, or where you live. We are like come here contractor and suck my cock! After you get done sucking our cocks you are like where am I going to live and they are like I don't give a shit contractor you sucked my cock now get the fuck out!"

That's pretty much the life of a contractor.
