The original question was with the acronym of JBLM, understanding that not everyone knows all the acronyms that the Army, DoD, and every other agency around. Next was someone at Ft. Bliss that had never heard of a Joint Base Lewis-McChord, then outrageously claiming that his BDE CDR hasn't heard of JBLM/Joint Base Lewis-McChord (which I have a problem believing, on multiple levels). Now someone states that the "weird ones" call it JBLM.
We are talking with people that are at bases throughout the country, so when addressing JBLM vs Ft. Lewis is a valid statement. Now if you have a problem with the Joint Base environment, then I suggest that you talk to someone who cares.
This forum is a wealth of knowledge and I am sure that most of you have knowledge that will help people out; I know that I have learned from people in this community. I suggest that you refrain from the bickering and gossiping that plague most forums.
On that note have a good weekend...
Dear Larz Waltz:
Sorry you had such a hard time believing a BDE CDR's ignorance.
Also sorry you judged this convo as bickering and gossip.
I didn't take this thread as any of that - just SMs perspectives and reporting what they know and have exerienced to be their truths.
Grizz13 consistently submits good, accurate, solid intel and insight into this forum.
And as you know and have read, so do many others.
I am pleased to read you have benefited from this website, and look forward to any insights about relevant issues you may care to offer in the future.
Most SMs that post on this website are generally considerate and respectfull in their postings. And this is a big reason why I have remained an active member of this site for these past few years.
Folks on this website do a good job of self-policing, but once in a great while, when someone does "act up", they are properly addressed by the moderators in a high-speed mode and without "snarky" biting comments, either.
You've arrived at a great website for these issues and just know we are generally all here to help out in a positive way.
Hope you have or have had a good week-end, too!
V/r,
