35th ADA in the News Again

I’m beginning to wonder if there are any other units stationed in Korea because the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade is always in the newspaper and it usually isn’t for anything good. Except this time this article is about a program they started to keep their guys who are always in trouble, out of trouble:

The Army’s Patriot missile brigade in South Korea has moved to curb accidents and misconduct through a program that rewards incident-free units with a plaque and a day off for soldiers.

The 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, headquartered at Osan Air Base, maintains 14 batteries in South Korea, some of which fire Patriot missiles.

Under the brigade’s “Good Order, Discipline and Safety” program, batteries must go for 90 consecutive days without blemishes in any of three categories: accidents, alcohol/drugs and serious reportable incidents.

I guess these guys aren’t getting a day off any time soon.
