I was able to learn a few things working 14 months on the Shakedown because we worked alongside Safe P and STG. I want to be something more besides just a Common Pod Boss plus better hours wouldn't hurt A pod boss is what makes this machine run. There's nothing more honorable than a soldier, or a good pod boss. H card can go suck a dick. Visitation, AND working 5 days a week? That's just crazy talk. No It Takes a Team Effort to Run this Machine..and that Includes people in Other Departments besides Security.. Security can not do it alone with out Food Service..Necessities.. Maintenance..Mail Room and Others Maybe 5 Days a Week is Crazy to You but I Really Enjoyed having every weekend off to do something in Scouts or Go to a Reptile Show..and I especially loved being off on Holidays to be with Family for a Holiday Meal... I did not have to beg for a Weekend to Go somewhere 3 months in Advance..I did not have to look at a Calendar to see if I could go somewhere on a weekend because I knew I was off. and Allred's STG works four 10 hr Days..So If I got it I would know I would have either every Fri-Sun off or Ever Sat-Mon off..and I would be off in time to attend Weekly Nightly meetings..Den Meetings..Pack Meetings..Round Table Training...

It does take a team effort to run the agency. Sometimes folks from different areas forget that. So if you see any other employee as you complete your daily tasks, say hi to them. Back them up. Look out for them. If tshtf someday and they save your butt you will be glad you did.

Sadly it will take a Tragedy for People to realize it..
Granted I have never been in a Riot like what happened frequently in the 1970's often but I am aware it can happen again..but I have some Experience in the Army with riots... European riots are to inflict harm on people not to tear up stuff and steal like American riots...even in full riot gear.. starring done 5000 people is nerve Racking..All you can do is Pray you survive and The German Police get there soon with their Machine Guns..25 Soldiers with Itty Bitty Riot Batons is not much a deterrent compared to 100 Police with Fully auto Machine Guns
Granted Mineral Wells has had a few issues since I started with TDCJ.
One good thing is that the Majority of The Offenders Today are Whinny Litigation types not the Brutish Take Action Types but they does not mean it won't happen.

Yes! Then you could do the same job, plus whatever they want to add to it, for less pay. Or, you could go to a unit where you are basically a glorified goffer. Your choice, maybe.

Being a Glorified Goffer would be a step up from how I am treated now...
If the STG Job Pans out on Allred ...I will go up for SGT on the Next Board..Might as well be treated like Shit as a SGT instead of just a CO

I was able to learn a few things working 14 months {working along side the H card suck ups} ..............H card can go suck a dick. ......... You got that right. I would hate to deal with the cronies on H card on a daily basis. We all know how most of them got those jobs.

Hey, I take umbrage to that! I worked the last 17 of 35 1/2 with the state as an H. After about two weeks of it, I knew I could never go back on shift. I do like my weekends, evenings and holidays. Oh yea, did I ever mention retirement is fantastic?!

Back to the main topic here, it seems that spot is going to remain open at the regional office in region 1,2 & 3 for awhile longer. I heard two of the three people who work in the STG office in Huntsville are looking for a better paying spot within the agency. Alarms should be sounding loudly when your rank and file are looking four better paying spots. Now what is this going to with to millions spent on the new Fusion center when you have no one to funnel information into it and what's going to happen when the Lege releases those gang members out of ad-seg back to GP. Sounds to me like there's some type of corruption up on top, kinda like the Vitapro scandal.

How is it you have just found this site? If you remember that Executive Director then you probably remember the one after him who lost his job because he was porking one of his Division Directors? I just love a happy ending - pun intended.

..............H card can go suck a dick. ......... You got that right. I would hate to deal with the cronies on H card on a daily basis. We all know how most of them got those jobs. And How Would that be? I got mine by working my ass off..I never kissed anyone's ass.. Going on 10 Years and a lot of it in GP...I never get to Work Turnouts..1 Gate...10 Gate...Infirmary (air conditioned)...or Desks. We have OJTs that have more time on the Desk than I do. I never get to Work Central (air conditioned) or 13 Building (air Conditioned) at the metal detector..Since coming back on shift I was told that I have to work my way back to Towers..Originally it took 7 years and a serious ass whipping before I was even allowed to drive Roving Patrol around and Around in Circles. I have never been on A Hospital Transport as a Shift Officer..Or a Unit to Unit Transport I almost worked myself into disability busting my ass on Pods while Some kiss ass gets to ride a desk and tries to tell me how to do my job....if you ain't been on a Pod you have no f'ing IDEA how to run one so don't even try to tell me how to do it.. When My Mother Died what did I get from My Shift..Nothing...No Card Nothing When I got Hurt..what did I get..Nothing Almost 10 Damn Years not even 1 lousy Birthday Card So would I give up shift for Mon-Fri...Hell Yes..I am not part of my shift, I am just a Damn Body to fill a Hot miserable Difficult Position where some kiss ass on shift earns the Same amount of Pay for Having it easier..can't or won't work.. Can't tell you how Much I have given complete Strangers Money over the Years because they need help in a disaster..From Day 1 I have been a CPOF Member. As a Croonie on H Card I helped Break Buildings..I did Cell searches on Pods to help Shift Officers cover their required Cell Searches..I helped run Chow also I earned my H Card Position on Shake down with Blood Sweat and Tears. If Given the Choice I would have stayed on Shakedown..but when Senior Wardens changed so Did the Shakedown..new warden wants rotation he gets rotation

Sounds to me like there's some type of corruption up on top, kinda like the Vitapro scandal. I doubt there is any corruption involved. STG is near and dear to my heart. I was an STG Sergeant for many years. I hate seeing the dept fall apart. Our agency has progressed significantly in the classifying of inmates, and that has helped keep violence down. If they decide to release large numbers of these hard core gangsters from ad seg there will be violence. There will be violence like most folks have never seen. The hard core gangsters will be taking it to the tango's. That's right. They WILL go hard on the tango's. There WILL be violence. It will be like '84-'85 all over again. Maybe even worse. There are many more gangsters now than what we had back then. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. Maybe history won't repeat itself. Maybe, just maybe, I'm wrong. I hope I am. But, I ain't gonna hold my breath hoping so.

I just love a happy ending - pun intended. Vitapro! It all depends on the cook. Back in 1995 I toured the T.L. Roach Unit in Childress, TX. A pal of mine from Oklahoma DOC was a sergeant there. I had been with the feds for about three years and was fed up with their ignorance. I was looking seriously at TDCJ. Anyway, we ate lunch in the officer's dining room. They were serving a Salisbury Steak like thing. I ate it. I was told it was Vitapro seasoned with bullion seasoning. As far as I was concerned, it tasted better than the real thing. Delicious! I had an overpowering urge to rob the gas station at the US 62/287 intersection just so I could get a bunk at that blue-roofed inn on FM 164 where the food was so good.

crosstimbers, the Roach Unit, back in 95 had a kitchen captain that had a pair. HE ran his kitchen, not the Major, not security, not even 01. Captain Kropog might have let Warden Anderson "think" he was in control, but Kropog ran it. He was a breed that has somehow been diluted with rank that came up the way of the "yes" man and "rubber stamp" department heads. I ate a world of Vita Pro, never bothered me much. I didn't enjoy the odor while it was cooking, but once done, it was alright. Many foods are that way, to me at least.
Michael, I hope you are off somewhere fishing, and enjoying your retirement. Thanks for the hundreds of PBJ's you fixed me for the road.
