I started my career in Helicopters and Tanks. When I took over a Finance Unit, I told them my vision is providing "World Class" support to the soldiers and community of Ft Riley. The soldiers accomplished that in a few months. I was so proud and pleased that I felt I needed to reward them in a "World Class" way. I did these things for the soldiers:

- When I told the MEDEVAC pilots I was in the 160th SOAR, it opened the door, and they agreed to give helicopter rides to soldiers.
- I had a hot breakfast and buses at the end point of a 4-mile run.
- The door prizes to the unit Christmas parties started with a big TV and a boombox. Stuff they wanted to win.
- I collected dinner certificates and gave them to the Section SGTs to pass down to their soldiers.
- I often made BBQ for the unit once a week after SGT's time. I am a good cook, so none of them went to the DFAC for lunch.

The morale was very high. It is easy being a leader of a unit with high morale. I loved the Army because it was a great leadership experiment. I felt compelled to thank the soldiers and incorporate some fun into their careers.

I'd love to hear more about your time in the 160th.

I was young and enlisted in the 160th which was my first duty station. I was spoiled due the great funding for the unit, professionalism, and minimal details. In 1.5 years I was never tagged for a detail. Then I went OCS and branched Armor. I like to believe Combat Arms gave me a good perspective on leadership - take care of the soldiers!

So what did you actually do in the 160th?

ALSE I can't elaborate on it.

Aviation Life Support Equipment is now super duper classified? If you told me you'd have to kill me?

That's, uh, an interesting perspective.

The perspective is correct considering a nondisclosure agreement I signed. What should I talk about? How we trained, our capabilities, equipment, TTPs, missions?

Silly how you think you know that much about me. Are you a veteran? Let me guess, you are not a veteran but think it's appropriate to denigrate the service of a veteran. lol

Yeah here we go again. Are you going to remind me that I plagiarize and need to post links?

I'm just quoting this because it gets more absurd each time to edit.

Your guess sucks though.

Without the ALSE, the 160th pilots don't fly, Seal Team 6 never gets to Pakistan, Osama never dies

Show some respect

The 160th SOAR has a Facebook page but an ALSE clerk from 20-some odd years ago can't talk about what he did?

---

Dude. You don't get it. I signed a nondisclosure agreement and would be remiss if I spoke about my job in the 160th. Why do you hate me and what have I done to you? Do I disparage you? It's time to vacate the thread because of the cancer brought upon like people like you.

Weird how we know about that raid, but Tanker123's exploits as junior enlist are more secretive. He's a national treasure.

---

Lots of "I's" in his posts. One would almost think this is the reincarnation of another infamous Texags poster who pretended marvelous experiences but IDK.

It's really amazing to see veterans who don't understand we all bleed one color. It's quite disappointing.

I plan worked. Some of you googled ALSE. lol

Sounds like the finance unit gives themselves a pretty nice budget

Not too many Finance units were up for regular 4 mile runs in my day and it is questionable whether they would want "hot" breakfasts afterwards. Maybe a banana and orange juice and coffee after?
