Title: Is there a standard format for writing an AAR?
Post by: Wolfala on April 28, 2006, 05:43:25 PM

After Action Report - seems each of the services have their own version. Is there one that is generally agreed upon?

Screw AAR's just jump upon your Commanders desk and tell him like it is!!

Worked for me... said things that others were afraid to mention.  

It's the "Ol Purple Elephant in the Living Room and no one sees it crap."

Ring knockers don't like that crap.... they are sooo above.


*good memory* I was at a M1 Gunnery at Graf, 1st SQDN 2nd ACR. I was the SQDN Commo Chief then... a C Troop CDR had probs with his FM radio 524... a simple squelch adjustment... so I pull up tired, hungry and pisssed...like when I was born... an I pop the top off the 524 and started working in the squech adjustment... he in his best "West Point Ring Knockng" approached me and askd if I was "authorized to do what I'm doing.." Told him "Hell no Sir, but if you want to talk, turn yer head" He said I can't do that... so okay I pull the radio and tag it... He asks well do you have a float radio?  I said no way Sir..... he asks well how am I supposed to talk to my unit? Well "Sir" you might get the radio back in 2 weeks...

  He had the balls to ask me then... "Do you think you can fix it?"  handsomehunks... If I couldn't fix it I wouldn't have popped the top.  

  Gotta love the Gene Pool... Books and a Ring Education doesn't make you smart or Intelligent.

Wolfie, let me give you my take on interservice differences.

As far as an AAR goes I don't see how the format would change much.


BUT,

In my current profesion I am learning how to teach Drill to AF trainees.  I KNOW USMC drill like the back of my hand.  BUT, the AF is slightly different in ALOT of things and to me its like have the same amount of keys on a keyboard but they are arranged differently and you still have to type at 100 WPM.

Now add those dificulties with not only having to KNOW drill, but now you have to TEACH drill.  Ok drill is not that hard to teach but there is a standard FORMAT for teaching that you have to learn and in case you have to learn all the proper "verbage" for each class you teach.  Yup that's my world....and I'm strugling.  Today on one of my PCs I got docked for saying the word "inboard"  I guess the AF doesn't use this term.  Kinda like using "parade deck" when it is a "drill pad"  got that one wrong as well.  It's tough to de-program but I'm getting by.  

Semper Gumbi,

Guns

Gunny,

I miss my DI from the corps. He always put **** in the right perspective - and this is just a stupid exercise in bellybutton kissing and protocol.

Semper boobies.
