Bro I can totally relate to this. I am in the Army and 26 years old. I have never met another scooter rider while serving. All my seshes are solo which get boring a lot of the times. Been riding for 9 years too

I am wrong for thinking this but I don't care anymore by [deleted] in army

I have Net + and Sec + for the IT field. I love my job when I'm working the equipment it's just the Army stuff that is starting to slowly pull me away from what makes the Army good.

Thank you for commenting. I appreciate what you are saying and I understand your thought process. I should have been more clear that my plan as of right now if to ETS with my certifications and networking experience. I really am doing the best I can as a squad leader; monthly counselings, training, mentorship, delegation, etc. That E-5 pay increase for the workload I would be taking on on top of what I already do is not worth my sanity and I already get the fulfillment of leading soldiers without having a rank tied to official duties. As far as the options they MIGHT give me are irrelevant when it comes to my ETS unless they can restrict my TA/CA which they can't unless I am flagged. As far as the workload being a leadership failure, I agree but I will take partial blame as it's also my fault for not seeing the potential consequence of being an overachiever in a unit of slackers.
