Good Morning All, happy SCS!

For the first time in my career I heard a higher up be honest about the lackluster outlook for members at this current time. Inspired me to write this.

RSM had coffee hour,
Said the forecast was quite bleak.
There's no ammo rounds for training,
Lack of numbers makes us meek.

They spoke about our billets,
How each trade's in the red.
They also spoke their own morale,
And how it's almost dead.

A grounded conversation,
From a professional adult.
They served coffee, not koolaid,
Kept an arm's length from the cult.

If a bucket has a hole in it,
Patch it up before it's filled.
But with the focus on recruitment,
Our futures have been killed.

Our equipment began service,
At the same time as RSM.
And it was pointed out to us,
How it was taught to them.

PLD will not be touched,
Was lamented with a sigh.
And not a care is made of housing,
By the politics up high.

A special thanks was given,
To our tempo with this slack.
So 2 shorts a month were planned,
We're getting something back!

At the ending of our coffee break,
RSM made one thing known.
We all were much appreciated,
And, early, got sent home.
