Personnel Request: Security Officer for 'cross-training'

 

When Officer OBrien is allowed out of Security without his wet-nurse, would you consider allowing me the pleasure of 'cross-training' this 'wonderfully exuberant' individual in the proper decorum and skills needed to work well within his department as they interact with our own group?

 

~~~End Communique~~~

 

David Merril wondered if that read any better, in official eyes, than how he actually felt about that self centered, bigoted individual, who made Nimetti seem like a long-lost chum. He wasn't sure that asking ' please, please, can I have him, please? ' would go over well with JoNs and Day.

 

Too bad the Powers That Be hadn't thought of doing an ' Exchange Program ' like this with Starfleet Security, back when Troll was a Drill Instructor in Marine Boot Camp. He would have been well within his rights then to have taken this young buck to task for his attitude.

 

-----Flashback-----

 

Brigadier General Tadashi Kimura waited impatiently for Tactical Sergeant David 'Troll' Merril to make his appearence after this latest complaint of 'Conduct Unbecoming A Drill Sergeant To An Officer'; after this third time of it happening by the same drill sergeant, the general staff had decided to make this an official category instead of its prior status of semi-legality.

 

TacSgt Merril knocked, then entered the General's office, coming to attention with parade ground precision. General Kimura didn't bother to turn around from his viewing out the battleglass viewport to the training grounds below.

 

"Its been pointed out to me that once again you were well within your rights as this officer's DI, to Correct His Attitude. But your method of dropping him, bound and gagged in the center of the live-fire exercise, leaves much to be desired. You are therefore being relieved of your position as a Drill Instructor here, and being re-assigned as a squad leader to one of our secondary training sectors for ramp-up to active duty"

 

General Kimura turned around at this point, with a slight grimace on his face. "Troll, what am I going to do with you? You are the first Instructor we've had to ban from ever teaching here again for Uneccesary Roughness! Officially you are being reprimanded for your behaviour here... Unofficialy you have been re-assigned to one of our equipment testing centers after you finish upgrading your Armorer's skills."

 

Realizing that he's not out of the woods yet, 'Troll' doesn't relax his stance.

 

"At ease, Troll"

 

The general hands over a data PADD. "Here are your official orders along with a letter from your sister Megan. Now get out of here! The next time I see you had better be on good terms."

 

TacSgt Merril salutes, then turns and leaves the office. David can see by expressions on peoples faces as he leaves that everyone is aware the general just dropped a major death knell on one Tactical Sergeant. General Kimura is known for being quieter in his dressing downs, the more severe the punishment is. This dressing down was just above a background murmer in volume.
