The pic is of me and two of the Dining Facility Managers, the one on my left is the senior manager.
After a long meeting with the two LtCols last night it was obvious the Senior Dining Facilities Manager dropped the ball on getting enough food for the 1500 Iraqi Soldiers that arrived this week. My 9 o'clock meeting with the Senior Dining Facilities Manager started off calm but half way through I started "poking him in the eye" because of in ability to plan for the incoming soldiers. The forceful tone in my voice stemmed from the fact that I told them ten days prior to the Battalions arrival that he needed to ramp-up for the incoming soldier - had he chose to make an effort I would have been more understanding of the Battalions early arrival. But he chose not to listen to any of my input and it caused me and our guest many problems. As the day progressed I continued to trouble shoot more "small fires." However, later that evening I had the opportunity to increase my cell phone collection.
One of the security precautions we are taking is to eliminate the use of cell phones in and around our area by visiting personnel; this policy was established to ensure our security against potential enemy fire. At 8 PM I took a walk around the Battalion area and confiscated seven cell phones. If they turned-in their cell phone when they arrived - they get it back the morning they leave our area. If I confiscate it after they have the opportunity to turn it in, its mine. Anyone want a cell phone? All you need to do is pay for shipping and handling - just 10,000 Dinar.
