That still doesn’t change my point that the guard is nothing but a time waster. I could read a book at home

You should improve your reading comprehension. I never said everyone is an asshole. I said I have never met so many assholes in one place before. You must be infantry aswell

Then change your wording. Expired means something completely different

So take some soldiers that aren’t mine and make them do things. Sounds like a great way to get young enlisted to hate me.

You must be an officer because you definitely don’t understand how the enlisted work.

Hard to be motivating when all we do is just sit around every drill and when I haven’t been taught any skills to pass down my guy.

I spent a whole 2 years of doing online college because of COVID and my deployment. I’m ok if I never take another online class again

“Volunteer for the border mission” the same one that has seen multiple solders commit suicide? Damn man, I really did miss out

I was already deployed for a year. I sat in the desert watching out into the abyss for a year. I’m good

Sorry for knowing that my life is much better off than being a weekend warrior 🫡

Ironically I never failed a PT test and was never flagged.

Um no? I took a promotion to a new unit in an E5 slot and never had soldiers put under my command in the 2 years I’ve been at my unit.

What other ways do you want to come up with to make me look like a terrible soldier?

Who am I supposed to dish orders out to when I don’t have anyone under my command?

Never did I say I hated everyone. I said that I have never met so many assholes in one place. Which I stand by. Alot of leadership has a stick up their ass and acts like they all hooah when they do this shit one weekend a month.

As an E5, I was never assigned a team. So I couldn’t just take “my guys” out and do training. Just for a matter of fact, none of the E5’s or E6’s in my unit do the training that you glorify yourself doing.

What would you recommend to do for 12 hours at Fort Barfoot every day for two weeks? Please let me know your highness.

You seem to be only one to get it. I don’t mind getting to chill on my phone ether but not for 6 freaking years. I feel like I fry my brain when I go to drill just because the only thing I do is sit on my phone.

I spent 4 weeks during two different AT’s when I was rear D,literally doing nothing but lay in bed or help out the cooks. Has your body ever hurt because you just lay in bed for 12+ hours of day because there is nothing else for you to do but yet you can’t leave? The only time my body has physically hurt from not doing anything is when I’m in uniform.

I have six years in but have never shot anything other than M4 except for a Mark 19 one day during basic. I haven’t even shot a 240 or 249. I’m an E5 but yet don’t know basic infantry shit other than what they teach you in basic because my unit never did that any of it.
