I am not talking about a military structure here not directives not assignments
NOT AUTHORITY simply direction and a contact person on the topic so everyone
has the same information. I gave you an example of what I am talking abut with
the com situation. I can say the same about the potential sites you mentioned
here. Who can name them? I cannot. Who is working on the site selection or
where they should be? I admit this conversation happened but nothing solid came
from it. I had no Idea X was working on a SOP or that we even needed one. In
fact I thought we decided not to worry about stand stuff.
I realize that anyone can bring up something in a meeting but we rarely get
that far. Points of order is great!

LOL....ok french fry, consensus is a good thing, I think the leadership
concept, more than anything else releases the rest of the group from critical
thinking and people will have a tendancy to wait for the leader to start some
thing up. The structure concept for the meetings however is easy. Anyone can
set a topic for the meeting, each person that comes up with a topic brings
their concerns and research to the meeting and takes the lead in the
discussion. Personally Spike, I'm not sure what you're looking for, are you
looking for someone to give directives? Make assignments? We seem to be moving
in the right direction. So far in review, as a group we have chosen and tested
close quarter coms, field tested a variety of gear and have decided which works
best, ie; GI sleep system vs Walmart Sleeping bag. We've tried a variety of
foods, cooking and hydration systems, and have a couple of range outings under
our belts. We have decided on one firm bivy point and have 2 or 3 more
potential sites pending, I repeat, as a group, without a Potato. Right now X is
working on an SOP for future outings and such and for the next meeting we can
discuss an SOP for meeting structure. I prefer a leaderless system only because
it eliminates pissing contests and because everyone has something to bring to
the table and should be able to take the lead in their area of expertise. Boy
Scout, have you asked your Grampa about us camping out on his land? Just
curious.

I say leader you say potato. WTF
Everyone here gets what I am saying.
I am vary pleased with the leaps our communications has made since my first
meeting. We have had Google, WRAM, Facebook, cell phone, tri square, and
designs to move to VHF for weeks now and still not everyone is up to speed. For
example: I do not know who can or cannot get into Google. We should all be
involved in setting those rules. No? Who are the web people and is there a back
up plan? Who do I pose these questions to? I know lets call them a potato.
How many times have we turned around because of going the wrong way?
Please don’t just answer here. Lets talk and make decision through consensus.
Structure is all we are missing. Whatever you want to call it “potato” needs
to happen for us to be successful.
The structuring of the group should be the topic of the next meeting.
Is that to much to ask? LMAO By the way; some of us could stand to drop and
blast out 20. So get to it! Up down one. Up down two...
