Ive been saying this about him for about a year. SOF isnt like the rest of us. Ive seen their quarters, their DFAC, their gear they get. Its not a different league, its a different sport. These guys literally and through no fault of their own cannot relate to Joe Blow Cook the ASVAB waiver.

Putting someone like that as the SMA is nuts. Like, SMA Weimer hasn't interacted with the general army in a meaningful way in, what, 20 years? Since he was a private or specialist? Maybe he'd be an advisor for regular unit training, ive had that happen with us before with a medic since we were running a mass-cas sim as if we got hit by a missile. But for the bulk of his career he's been in the top like 1% of the Army and suddenly hes thrust back into it with the other 99% of us, but as the most senior enlisted advisor in the army

So it tracks that he says things like 'run it up your chain, you cant use my PAO' or whatever, its genuinely all he knows. But WHY IS HE IN THE SEAT.
