Supply

2 October 2011

Sgt. Stephen Scott
U.S. Army

Sgt. Stephen Scott is a bad ass. Just look at that photo. OK, so on a day-to-day basis, he’s really not quite so crazy looking as the above photo, but, ask him nearly anything about the Army supply system and he’s on it. Give him a task that requires navigating the labyrinth of getting stuff from whatever source warehouse to the folks in his unit and he’s usually there before you asked for it. A sort of modern-day version of Radar O’Reilly.

And taking care of supply issues is no cake walk. On the surface it’s pretty simple stuff–take this box of stuff from X location, bring it to Y location and distribute it. But there are forms to fill out, inventory to count and keeping accountability of both monetary funds and a galaxy of items from bolts to Humvees. He makes it look easy, which is often one of the marks of a true professional. And, he does it all with an easy-going, often self-depreciating humour.

So, in that sense Sgt. Stephen Scott, is, indeed, a bad ass.

    You’re right, Jon, Sgt. Scott looks like a bad ass, but I bet he is just a huggable teddybear after his work day is done, and he has completed his mission without a flaw. Don’t let those bulging eyes intimidate you. That is how he gets the job done! :)
