[QUOTE="cowzrul, post: 1556785, member: 5353"] When I was an 0311 in the Marine Corps I couldn't even count how many accumulated days I sat on my pack waiting to deploy. It wasn't until I went to the dark side of the officer ranks and did my Joint Tour that I realized somethings couldn't be avoided. Sometimes it is easier (and less costly) to have troops stand around and wait then it is to allow them to leave and then muster them back up at the drop of a hat when transpo arrives. Unless your unit has their own planes, trains, and automobiles you are waiting on higher headquarters logistics and possibly even TRANSCOM. Now, I don't know the situation at Camp Shelby but I felt like adding what I know from previous experience because it's not near as easy as one would think to just jump on a truck and go. [/QUOTE]
