Now that I've hopped Armies and am enjoying the US Army, let me just say that "lol". At 68w AIT there are companies that have 450 soldiers. We do PT once or twice a week, despite waking up after three just so that the one or two PSGs can get time and do paperwork and admin before classes start, so PT is often cancelled. DFAC is .9 miles away, so out of 18 hours spent awake, we manage 7hrs of classes and three 10-minute eating sessions. I honestly would not have believed this poo poo to be true. It's like some weird fantasy on how to inefficiently do poo poo.

Fourth week just ended and I've done five PT Sessions plus one PT test! Goddamnit. 450 men is not a company. Best part is how three of these loving half-battalions hit the DFAC a mile away at the exact same time, making the average meal trip to be like 2hlurs or a bit more.

Yeah, I kinda miss the efficiency of Finnish BCT and job training. One Corporal for every squad, and platoon has a cadre instuctor Sergeant and Instructor LT, plus one conscript officer. In the US, the Drill Sergeants spend the whole day at the range working, and still we only shot 20-40 rounds each range day and sat around for 8-9 hours. Every training went the same way, actual training is 5-25 minutes of the day, rest is standing at formation and or getting smoked for not being still enough. Compared to Finland where if not doing the main activity, the corporals are running poo poo, showing poo poo, teaching lessons, doing other related instructions, going through questions and just all around being available. Instead of a small portion of s bigass Battery/Company doing something, everyone was learning all the time. We learned so much more non-stop during that 8 weeks. I don't wanna be all "blablabla but Finland this and that" but goddamn this has been retarded so far. Our MOUT lasted for 20 minutes during Basic, and then we had one assault on a compound, and it was led by the PG who has no clue. Afterwards we "conducted AAR" tjat the drat PG ran because DS was too busy dealing blanks to the other million soldiers PG concept is retarded during initial training. Soldiers need actual leaders.

Your finland story is more like how people pretend to want to run a lot of ranges I went to with alternate training for downtime but lol if that ever ends up being anything worth a poo poo if at all.

let me guess, in finland you actually worried about important stuff and all, but in this mans army, we stop everything to do an online accident avoidance course because it's THE MOST IMPORTANT thing ever. wait till you take the mandatory annual training every 7 months that tells you which hotel room to get if you dont want terrorists to kill you

I guess it at least half boils down to the fact that in a Finnish training unit, you have so many more NCOs available due to the conscript corporals and conscript officers being 24h available, un-paid labor on top of the cadre instructors.

Because now here, insane amount of time and effort is wasted due to the incompetence of PGs (not their fault though) and the overall disrespect and sluggishness in executing anything they want, instead of just having actual corporals running a tight leash each on their own assigned squad, doing the PT, handling their paperwork and admin, and squaring them away.

Gotta hit the bed to enjoy my 5 hours of sleep, but two scenarios: Scenario 1: You are recalled to formation at the middle of the night. You have no clue why. You and nearly 400 soldiers get smoked by a screaming sergeant. You get a long speech about teamwork, and how weakest link is your strenght. And how you have to square your battlebuddy and help him to succeed. Nearly 400 soldiers look around, they have no clue who, why, or when. Or how. After 40 minutes, smoking ends as does the "inspirational" speech. Everyone goes back to bed without having any clue about anything. Shopette privileges and free time for tomorrow is cancelled to "teach a lesson". Scenario 2: A corporal flips the squad rooms bunks because one dude in the squad always has his bed unmade. Then he smokes the squad and yells at them. Squad now knows what's wrong and what to do, because they are just couple dudes and not a loving throng. And because the corporal has only a squad, eventually he learns by observation who the shitbags are and he fucks them up. This same thing happens in all platoons and squads, because each of them has their own leader who has time and effort to dedicate to his squad. Which one makes sense? It teaches a really lovely lesson to these young soldiers that it doesn't matter if they do everything that is asked, they still lose the privileges. So they start slipping because gently caress it, someone out of 400 guys is gonna do something every day, and there is no way to stop that. Constant collective punishment on such large scale is super weird, because most of these privates around me have no clue why. Hell, me neither. We just stand there with our half-shaved head because we were recalled from the barber, never any wiser on why. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Dec 18, 2016 |

He came from a unit perpetually under investigation. Several NCOs at first thought I was crazy but soon realized that crushing a fuckup is way easier and more efficient than dealing with hundreds of angry people when only 1-5 deserved punishment.

To the contrary, the same shitbags talk in formation, are out of ranks at morning, and keep their cellies on them at class. Because lol, at "fall in", the ones who made it on time get the poo poo smoked out of them, and then when the fuckups finally arrive, we just march away onto the day. I guess the theory is that we'd go square our buddies away and motivate them, but in reality the shitbags will just tell those people to go gently caress themselves. And hell, why wouldn't they, they didn't even get into actual trouble. The most infuriating part is to witness that shitbag behavior that is clear product of the lack of supervision that one or two sergeants can provide overthe huge formation. The same kind of actions would've never flown in Finland, because good luck being a shitbag in front of a NCO when there is only 11 guys beside you standing there. Here, from second rank onwards, it's loving clown show nonstop. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Dec 18, 2016 |

They created a company for us just so that we didn't sit around waiting for a new training cycle in a month. I am glad to see it hasn't gotten any better. Oh and don't worry about any sort of standards being met. Some of the most pathetic soldiers I ever met were medics as well. Even more maximum army is the guy who recycled basic because of pt failures. He ended up taking each event on different days just to pass. Then he came to my squad and scored an 80.

Also ones with good EMT Class GPA get hosed up because they are not "setting their battlebuddies up for success". Yeh, I could see the theory in a team of 8 guys or so, where two dudes are failing. Then you help out your buddies and adapt and overcome. But gently caress me. What a loving lesson to teach these soldiers who actually care and put effort in here.
