I have been able to get this largely resolved in some units by building working relationships with support section NCOs. Personally reaching out and offering to exchange information during and prior to an exercise is often welcomed (they're also wondering what's the holdup).
I’ve never seen an 88m make a hit time. Seriously. Every time we rely on motor-t it’s comically bad. Tanks don’t get to the bore site line or wash rack quick we get our asses chewed, but nothing ever seems to happen to support personnel tbh. 😐

Election outcomes haven’t changed the fact that you’re still fat and weak.
Get up.
Running a local Hurricane Disaster Relief drill today, we will be working on our C2 capabilities, convoy operations, and testing our SOP for dispatching. I have a list of simulated recon objectives which our teams will physically go to, then open the respective card and send a report back on their findings.
We're also incorporating a post-event SITREP template so we can quickly assess our capabilities and needs after a storm.

Me when I just got authorized to wear my Vakarian at USMCR field training (I'm about to be comfy AF in the field).
He's lucky the cops got him first.
@CMC_MarineCorps, do we need to have the 8th and I put an armed honor guard on the Iwo Jima Memorial now?
Geår drop part 2. Gizmo glider going on the Lima6.
M81 slings on belt feds are muscle memory for me.

Yüs. Apothecary arrived today. Will be very useful for my doc.
Now that everyone’s getting their kit, people are starting to understand why others bought from me in the first place.
You’re not just getting a plate carrier or a med bag. You’re getting a hell of a lot more.
Feature for feature, I’d put the Väkärián at an easy $600–$700 if someone else were selling it and that’s me being generous.
If you’re confused about how to set up your Väkärián, Apøthecary Med Bag, or GIZMØ GLÏDÈR sling or just want to see everything they can do, check out my YouTube channel.
I go over everything in detail, have a few mental breakdowns, and gradually reveal that the mask is less about OPSEC and more about hiding my savant syndrome.

It's a good concept that has become so commercialized that it's seldom well-executed.
During Helene, time was at a premium. I had a pre-packed bag with my personal sustainment (clothes, water treatment, sleeping bag, etc) per my team's SOP. This saved me an hour or so of prep time that I was able to use for other preparations.
Bug-out bags are stupid. What scenario are you prepping for that you need a combination of a combat rucksack and backpacking setup on <5 minutes notice? What possible disaster would you benefit from a coin-sized compass and pocket fishing rig?
You are much more likely to need clean underwear, a toothbrush, and a cell phone charge on zero notice than you would a bug-out bag.
Where are you bugging out to that you can't see the trouble coming and get to there while your car works? Most likely situation is your house burns down and you have to go to grandma's house or a hotel.
Basically in every other SHTF situation you've had at least a few hours to over a day or two to pack up your car. Even if it's a brush fire, if you pay attention you have lots more than 5 minutes and will end up in a hotel, not camping and fishing out of your sleeping bag.
