Pretty much. Compiling all the paperwork and doing all the counselings for troublemakers results in myself and the rest of my leadership spending 80% of our time on 20% of our soldiers. A higher priority for me is focusing on real, relevant training and developing the numerous good soldiers we have.

The Army, piling poo poo down hill until everything breaks and the people at the bottom get screwed? Why I never!

No loving poo poo. I got to work this morning and the first thing I got to deal with was a Soldier that's in jail for multiple counts of petit larceny. This same person also has a drug packet in progress, so I'm guessing they were pawning the poo poo they stole to support their pill habit.

I finished dealing with that at around 5pm, and I'm still in the office working on another drug packet for a pothead. This'll be the second time in the last week that I'll be spending the night on the couch in the Colonel's office.

What I'm saying is, gently caress lower enlisted retards for wasting my time.

I've got a great idea... Since lower enlisted is loving retarded, and the Army is drawing down, and the economy sucks, combined with education inflation, lets make a bachelors a requirement to enlist. We can make a masters a requirement to commission to keep the wretched masses from thinking they are on par with the glorious nobility.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
There's already a huge number of dudes enlisting with degrees, no idea if it's more than in the past though. Weirdly almost none of them that I've talked to ever tried to pursue a OCS contract first. "I'll just go to OCS later." I never met a single person at OCS that was sent there from a unit on active duty, all the prior service guys got their OCS contracts the same way the college option guys did. Seems almost impossible to go to OCS while you're already in. However it's pretty hard to get an active duty OCS contract these days too, and takes a long time to process.

I got out of doing ACAP, but was told about that stupid work book. If I had to have attended I was just gonna write down "not die, not die, not die" and then fairly likely go see mental health and then go have a nap.

That's a righteous doodle though.

I see it as a minor victory that the "ask us about joining" thread has been completely silent for a month excepting one numbnut that didn't know what he was doing.

At least the last two seem like they'll be better than the first two...

It's not just this thread, either. It felt like everyone at my last unit and a ton of people st my current unit are ETSing. Even the high speed hoorah hoorah types laugh about staying in and get their DD214s

None of the SF dudes I worked with or know are like that. Most of them hate the Army, but like their job.

If they aren't mixing cocaine into the floor wax/shooting the pizza man you still have decent Soldiers.

I'm as proud as I can be of my newest Specialist. She hasn't even been in a year and she's already at zero fucks to give. I mean, she still enlisted, so she's still partly retarded.
