Fwd: Eikenhorst 32

Haytham,

Did you not get these attachments via email? I saw that you were on the distribution line too. Or maybe you just have not yet been able to open and review them?

It is completely ridiculous that the IO wants to push a paper 32. What would be the point of even doing it? And in my mind, it's important to inquire into what exactly was said, how it was said and what movements were made because reading that in the writing of people involved doesn't truly convey the timing and tone of the events and statements.

On another note, WRT this case, a friend of mine who was familiar with the word on the street surrounding this event and is familiar with Maj Eickenhorst and his relationship with his CO told me that the CO couldn't stand Eickenhorst and relieved him as the Ops O and sh*&-canned him to the billet he held at the time of the event. My friend was brought in to replace Eickenhorst as the Ops O. Apparently the CO didn't want Eickenhorst briefing anything to anybody because 1) he smelled bad, and 2) he says the following two lines at the end of every explanation:

"and stuff like that."
"and crap like that."

As in, "we need to get the right measurements for the air field matting and crap like that."
