Return to my old unit: breakdown on what have changed and what have not

[Background]
After the events of 911, a new flight (mine) was created to supplement manpower needs when needed. We are to put on the old roles we knew so well. The crap we know even better.
In theory, when we are around, the active personnel would have an easier time.
[Background]



[Good]
1. More fans...
2. We can lie on the beds during daytime now
3. My old Camp Sergent Major is gone
4. The base appears more secure to public

[Bad]
1. Room is actually warmer now, with less ventilation and more warm bodies
3. His successor is even more "charming"
4. The base appears less secure to me
5. NCOs and Men divide is wider than before
6. Duties do not get lightened due to our presence. In fact, more duties were generated
7. Men are expected to use their initiative (see #8)
8. Men are expected to seek Control's advice when something is out of the ordinary (see #7)

[Just-as-stupid]
2. TV is still off-limits during the day
9. Contingency drills requires everyone to assemble outside the guard room. Perfect for a grenade or sniper kill

[New-high-in-stupidity]
10. Contingency drills require everyone to line up and sign for their ammo


I can go on but it would then be attacking the stupidity of individuals that are in-charge. I shall stop here.
