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.

The Office

As part of my ongoing incompentent town coverage I present to you our office. This is pretty much all we have been given to work on a multi-million dollar pieces of gear.



And this was the word for word quote when I suggested to SNCO that it would be better for our gear if we were working inside.

"ESD, oh you can't get that out here."

The City

One of the questions that is always asked of me is "How far are you from the Iraqis?"
I never really tell people but, as you can see from this pic I'm not all that far. Basically if you walk down that hill you are pretty much in the residential district.

Welcome to Incompentent town.

As you all well know I haven't updated my blog in quite some time. This has been mostly to the poor communications that I have had access to. But, now that things have changed a bit I'm in a better position to update like I would like to.

At anyrate welcome to Incompentent town. If you all have been paying attention I told you all way back that Maj. Dynamo is not someone you would want to cross or he would make it hard on you. Well guess what everybody? I crossed him as a result I was moved to a place that we here call Incompentent town. It seems that when you are deemed incompentent this is where you go. It's the home for misfit field engineers I susppose. At first it was just an inside joke for us losers until the Marine made it official by pulling the cord on an ejection seat on an old Iraqi fighter jet. Launching himself out of the cockpit and breaking his neck on impact.






For me to go into full disclosre about everyone I'm going to have to come up with a few new Rogue's Galleries so my next few articles are going to back track here and for me to tell the true story I'm going to have to dig back to roughly September.
