Army Sign In Roster: Fill & Download for Free

In my experience, I don't think we ever referred to them as a call signs.No one ever uses their names over the radio, ever if you are referring to a specific Soldier you use their Battle Roster Number, which is really an alpha numeric series that includes the First Initial and Last Initial followed by the Service Members last four, so it would be something like AA1234. In my experience the only people that ever used battle roster numbers over the net were the senior non-coms, like the Platoon Sergeant talking to the Company First Sergeant. This usually only happened after something like a medical evacuation.A call sign in milspeak is Station ID , but I don't think we ever used that nomenclature, we used the KISS (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID) approach to training our guys on military radio procedures.Training basically consisted of an NCO saying, "Hey you, you're the New RTO, when you talk on the radio you are Green 6 Romeo remember that and don't forget or I'll F*** you Up." To which the young private who gets to carry 30-pounds of radio and batteries around Afghanistan with a big stick in the air that might as well have a sign that says shoot me I'm important responds, "Roger Sergeant." After the Sergeant leaves he asks his fellow privates, "What's an RTO?" To which a Specialist will respond who on the last deployment was probably the RTO, "your the radio guy."After reading the manual, and proceeding to do things by the book, the Squad Leader who appointed E-fuzzy for this wonderful new gig, will "school him" on how things are really done in the Army, memorization will be aided with the Army's favorite pneumonic device, "push ups, go." By the time the E-fuzzy earns his mosquito patch, he'll be using the radio like he's channeling Marconi.But for those of you who want some free lessons in how to be high speed on the radio in an Army Infantry Unit without the Army's favorite pneumonic device here you go:This is based on my time in a typical US Army Stryker Battalions:Note: Wolf Pack and Ghost are just for lack of a better word mascots I made up.On the Battalion Net:"Wolf Pack 6" = Battalion Commander"Wolf Pack 6 Romeo" = Battalion Commander's Radio Telephone Operator aka RTO"Wolf Pack 5" = Battalion XO"Wolf Pack 7" = Battalion Command Sergeant Major"Wolf Pack X-Ray" = Battalion Tactical Operations CenterOn the Company Net:"Ghost 6" = Company Commander"Ghost 6 Romeo" = Company Commanders RTO"Ghost 5" = Company XO"Ghost 7" = Company First Sergeant"Ghost X-Ray" = Company Tactical Operations CenterOn each Platoon Net:1st Platoon would be"Ghost 1-6" = Platoon Leader"Ghost 1-6 Romeo" = 1st Platoons RTO"Ghost 1-7" = 1st Platoons Platoon Sergeant"Ghost 1-1" = 1st Squad's Squad Leader"Ghost 1-2" = 2nd Squad's Squad Leader"Ghost 1-3" = 3rd Squad's Squad LeaderDriver's would be "Ghost 1-1 or 1-2 or 1-3 Delta"Team Leaders would be "Ghost 1-3 Alpha" or "Ghost 1-3 Bravo"2d, 3d and 4th (MGS) 2d platoon follows the same pattern above except the 1 is replaced by a 2. Ditto for 3 & 4.Calls on the Platoon net would resemble this"Ghost 1-6 this Ghost 1-1, we are Red Con 1, over"Usually to readiness condition reports there is no response but if there were it would be:"Ghost 1-1, Ghost 1-6, Acknowledged."Now in practice Companies usually color code their Platoons for simplicities sake for transmission on their platoon net and the company net. So 1st platoon might be red, so it would be something like, with Red replacing everything before the hyphen."Red 1, Red 6, initiate movement over.""Red 6, Red 1, rolling, over"When the platoon transmits on the Company Net it might be:"Ghost X-Ray, Red 6 SP Time Now, over.""Red 6, Ghost X-Ray, SP Time 2134, over."When a platoon transmits on Battalion Net it reverts to the more formalized structure of Ghost Platoon Number (1 thru 4) followed by positional designator (like 6):"Wolf Pack X-Ray, Ghost 1-6 Romeo, over."Ghost 1-6 Romeo, Wolf Pack X-Ray, over.""Wolf Pack X-Ray, Ghost 1-6 Romeo, UXO Report to follow, over.""Ghost 1-6 Romeo, Wolf Pack X-Ray, proceed with report, over."Hopefully this answers your question with a little extra for context.

The duffleblog is a satirical website.At MCAS Cherry Point NC we had a system called Duty Section. 1–4 was assigned to you and there were signs everywhere that were changed daily telling you what the duty section was for the day Friday’s was also the weekend’s duty section.You had liberty but had to be near a phone, years before cell phones, and you had to be sober. Ok, sort of sober. If you wanted to go to someone’s house you called the Duty NCO and gave them your Can Be Reached CBR number. He had your duty section roster and recorded the CBR on the sheet.The military is a salary position. You are not hourly. If they tell you to be here all day Saturday and Sunday you will be there. I got called one Sunday morning at 03:30 when I was on duty section and was told I had to open the vault and issue confidential gear to a group going to the field on a sudden change of plans. My warrant officer saw that I had signed in and out of the vault log and he teased me about being salary. Then on Friday we had loaded surfboards in my truck and had on surf shorts under our camouflage uniforms for rapid deployment after final formation. It’s is lunchtime and we hear the surf report and sort of sigh as the surf was 6 foot and glassy.My warrant officer asked if we had everything done and who had duty section and we answered yes and said the Arrington was on duty section. “See you men Monday morning!” He said. The guy with duty section had to stay but told our platoon sergeant that we had been dismissed early. Not being hourly helps tooThey need no reason at all. If your company is in hot water because the Sergeant Major bitched at your First Sergeant about how filthy your barracks are your entire company might have liberty revoked and spend the weekend cleaning it.

I support stripping the citizenship of those who refuse to serve in the army or do national service. I see them as freeloaders and I see absolutely no value to their religious learning.I see them as cowards who hide behind religion.As Yair Lapid said, if civil service is wasting time from Torah, it’s a very different Torah.It’s about sharing the burden of service.The purpose of the universal draft isn't just about protecting the people, but it's about the army it produces.You know why Israel has a Memorial Day, sans beer and mattress sales, where grown men weep? Because the army is the people's armies. It's not a paid mercenary force. It's everyone chipping in together.How about this agreement? The religious do not have to serve in the army, and the army doesn't have to protect them? Would that work? You want protection? Do something. Seriously, it doesn't have to be army service. I didn't serve in a uniform, I did a year of volunteering in Israel working in a government office, and many years volunteering on my own time. Every Israeli I have ever met has given me nothing but compliments and approving words. Let Hareidicontribute in some way. Elke Weiss' answer to Would ending the Israeli military draft which is a major area of contention, lower the friction between the religious & secular societies?Why should some sacrifice so much, serving the state and some contribute absolutely nothing?Let’s all pitch in. As Yair Lapid said, “They can go to hospitals, we need people in hospitals. They can help the police. We need people to help the police.”Here’s one way.A “Haredi” issue is their role in national/army service. If Yeshiva students would also serve as kashrut supervisors as their national service, the price of food could come down fairly significantly. This would allow the Haredi parties to cheapen the price of Kosher food (which is theoretically in their interest) while also relieving political pressure to draft Yeshiva students.How Much is that Rabbanut Sign in the Window?But instead, they leach off the system.Their brothers die for them,I say strip draft dodgers of any creed of citizenship if they refuse to do national or military service. Yes, Israeli Arabs would be asked to do national service in their own communities, under the Education Department. All citizens must contribute service, unless released.Stripping draft dodgers of citizenship would diminish the power of the Hareidiparties in government and would allow for a more representative Israel.Second, we strip them of health insurance. If they or any of their dependents want health care, they can pay for the entire amount. If they can’t afford it, that’s not our problem.Third, they also should not be given child allowances or any other privileges of Israeli citizenship.There are some who think they are in the army, in the chair force.To directly quote my former neighbor from his blog"During my years of study in a yeshiva in Israel, the Rosh Yeshiva (dean of the yeshiva) made a point of explaining that our responsibility to learn Torah is not merely to ourselves or our community, but to the entire nation of Israel. Our learning, he told us, granted the Jewish people the merit to continued Divine favor despite the constant existential threat. His words were but an echo of Isaiah’s above sentiment.Occasionally, the Israeli government would send “inspectors” to the yeshiva to meet and make an account of each individual student to make sure the yeshiva had not fabricated the names on their roster to garner larger financial benefits from the government. On these days we would usually be interrupted from our studies to wait on a long line outside the office until our turn to come in and present our IDs to the inspecting officer.The Rosh Yeshiva related that on one of these occasions, the inspector asked him, “You religious folk choose not to serve in the Israeli army. You do not support your country. You are not true Zionists! Why then do you take money from our government?”The Rosh Yeshiva replied, “On the contrary, we are the staunchest Zionists in all the land!”“How so?” asked the inspector, puzzled.“If we were to refuse this money from the government, we would be preventing the state from accruing the immeasurable merit of supporting Torah study. It is this merit that grants the State of Israel its strongest warrant for Divine protection. So you see, sir, by allowing ourselves to be the benefactors of government funds, we offer the state the strongest support possible. We are the true Zionists!” The True Zionists (or Saving the World, part II)The reaction has been a lot of anger and resentment towards the Hareidi community, and a lot of anger and resentment from the Hareidi community.First, secular people feel taken advantage of. One secular friend quipped “In Israel, one third work, one third pay taxes, one third go to the army. Problem is, it’s the same third, the secular people.”It’s very hard not to resent being forced to protect people who you feel don’t care about you. It’s hard to bury friends and suffer three difficult years, and watch others benefit without contributing.And it’s hard to feel like the draft dodgers aren’t a burden both security wide, but financially.Since draft service is linked to being allowed to work, that has left Hareidim horribly underemployed.A study recently completed by the finance ministry predicts that on current trends Israel’s public debt, currently 67% of GDP, will spiral to 170% over the next 50 years. The ministry says that 45.7% of Haredi men are in the labour force, far less than the national employment rate of 60.4% and lower than for any group except for Arab women (see chart). Haredi women are not expected to study: their participation rate is 71%. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Haredim were just under 10% of Israel’s population in 2009; by 2059 it predicts they will be around 27%. Israel cannot afford to keep paying them not to work. Eat, pray, don’t workThe poverty is horrific.Officials say that about 56% of ultra-Orthodox live below the poverty line. Most are dependent on welfare payments like income support, child allowances or married student stipends. Benefits Granted for Full-Time Torah Study Are Questioned in IsraelArmy service is key to many parts of civil society in Israel.Even if Hareidim would be allowed to work, the army functions as the biggest HR network in Israel.Although it’s illegal to ask straight out, it’s not hard to find out and many people judge hard if you didn’t serve, even if it was for religious reasons. (Before you ask, no one judges me, since I did a year of community service and volunteered part-time six years with various Zionist causes)Now, some will literally tear up the resume if they don’t see service. My friend in Israel has made it clear that unless the candidate says “I am disabled” or has a very compelling reason, candidate either have military service or they shouldn’t bother wasting his time. And there is a very short list of very compelling reasons. Religion isn’t one of them.Others are more understanding but continue with soft discrimination. For instance, one of my cousins “Yochai” is what you would call, Dati Leumi, which means kinda Modern Orthodox. He served in the army, but is very religious. So he might not hold the lack of service for religious reasons against them that hard, but he will naturally be biased towards someone who did serve. He even admits it.And yes, there is actual blatant discrimination of people who won’t hire religious people. I don’t defend that, even though I imagine that only resources prevent religious people from refusing to hire secular people.Hareidi people feel like their way of life is mocked and under attack, and have this feeling of hatred towards secular people. They feel seculars are imposing themselves on a community and resent http://it.In fact, some even would prefer being under Arab rule. (Why these ultra-Orthodox Jews support the Palestinian cause)Which makes many Israelis see them as a fifth column, who might collaborate with the enemy.But that might be a minority and I won’t make that accusation blanketly. What I will say is many Hareidim do not feel a part of the Israeli people, and even view religious soldiers as subhuman.Look at the pictures.andThis is how they view my family. They lynch soldiers in effigy.They engage in acts of violence against our soldiers.Seriously, why didn’t she take out a gun and shoot the devils?How is it provocative for a man to walk through his own country in the uniform that charges him to protect them?It’s not always just insults.Ex-MK’s soldier son attacked by ultra-Orthodox mob in Jerusalem.Someday, someone is going to get killed and we’re going to have a civil war on our hands.Because here’s how they riot.Armed soldiers who just lost a brother in arms will riot very different and the price will be much harder.I fear Israel is at a boiling point.And it doesn’t need to be this way.The Hareidim could end this by doing a national service program, which would allow them to enter the workforce.They just won’t do it, because they refuse to give in and see that secular people have a point too. Elke Weiss's answer to What are the reasons that most Haredi/ultra-Orthodox Jews oppose conscription? And what has been the reaction to this?Hareidi Jews aren’t my brothers and sisters. But they are my neighbors and we need to live together.
