CPX

Operations ran a mini exercise this morning. It was supposed to last the day but our failure was apparent early and was so complete that the evolution was cancelled. I’m pointing my finger at the Comms platoon: they distributed radios that weren’t compatible and because each group was in a different location, and therefore couldn’t see any of the other radios, no one realized what was going on. The hours we spent sitting around waiting for the radios to work were punctuated with the frantic changing in and out of our gas masks and chemical suits. It was embarrassingly ridiculous. I imagine we’ll stay late Friday to give it another try.
