As you know, I have recently returned from Iraq and have the opportunity to stay in the United States for a couple of years. So, I am able to teach the public again. I am very excited and ready to be able to share my experience. However, I am not retired yet and need a place to train. Enter the garage. My garage has always been an eyesore as I am either always moving or always deployed and the garage gets neglected until I return home. So, today I fight the garage war and turn it into a functional garage for car parking and as a temporary teaching center. Here is how the battle will go.
Phase 1:
- Today: 0900, cross the line of departure and conduct reconnaissance by fire until the evil garage is surrounded and wounded.
- Today: Time undetermined. Detain all boxes and piles of junk and move them to a undisclosed detention center.
- Today: Install a new regime of shelving and storage devices to monitor the garages security and geopolitical infrastructure.
Phase 2:
- To be determined. Eradicate rubble and debris.
- TBD. Cleanse and refresh entire area.
- TBD: Seal off the area with new coat of concrete sealant.
Phase3: Multi-Part operation.
- Ensure 2 vehicle storage is possible.
- Construct educational and information dissemination devices for new facility.
- Emplace training aids in storage area.
Phase 4: Steady state operations.
- Daily vehicle movement.
- Bi-weekly combat training of selected concerned local nationals.
Desired End State:
- No injuries to unit or others.
- Proper hydration is maintained.
- Commander’s intent met.
- Garage utterly defeated and new regime installed.
