Note from the Editor:
When you hear ‘left-seat right-seat’, it means your unit (usually a battalion; several hundred Marines or more) is going on joint-patrols with another unit. It means the unit that has been in the area the longest is now starting to stand down, leaving its leaders and best troops to essentially chauffeur your leaders and best around. Once your unit has the hang of it, the situation flips; your leaders and best troops start taking out your own vehicles, driving the leaders of the more-experienced unit around on a few last joint-patrols, until everyone is ready to hand over command of the area, parting ways, the seasoned unit going back home.
Left-seat right-seat is a tense time; some Marines hope they make it through those last few or extra patrols. Some Marines aren’t quite ready, with steely nerves, to accept the responsibilities that come with being in charge of an entire city or region. Then, all of a sudden, one group is just hoping they, after all those missions, will survive the journey back to the airport or ship, and back home. The other group is then hoping they make it to chow and sleep after every single mission. It takes a while to relax, and a little while longer to gain a full appreciation of having the luxury of a left-seat right-seat handover to make sure everyone really knows what needs doing.
At this time in my life, I had no idea I’d be in more left-seat right-seat transition-times after the Corps. I would never have guessed nor believed they’d be with more than just military forces. Beings more powerful than American troops still have a version of this changeover procedure. I’ll say no more.

Poking Fun at Fake News:
Even ‘tech’ news here is inaccurate, as all the technologies the public is allowed to hear about are obsolete. If the tech isn’t truly new (IOW it was developed decades or centuries ago, and is just now getting released to the market), it can’t really be called “news”. New stuff is news. That’s why they call it “the news”.
