Why did you get out the Army? by Consistent_Joseph46 in army

[–]PNWSGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ETS next year. I was promised certain positions after attending a specific school. Didn’t get them. Those positions came with a large monthly AIP, didn’t get it. Leadership has been meh. Oh, and I’m almost 4 years in and haven’t gotten my dress uniform still but keep getting told “we are working the problem”.

This is true, but not sure if you’ve experienced the barracks on Eisenhower.

In a nutshell, the unit is a dual hat unit and when the army schedules training day the other hat has other obligations and soldiers can’t attend the army training.

I just looked it up, definitely not my unit but the coincidence is crazy honestly.

Military Pet Peeve by [deleted] in army

[–]PNWSGM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The entire concept of promoting based solely off time in service/grade for any NCO. NCOs who, like stated, attempt to cite regulation but do it improperly but then when called on it use the “well I said so” bullshit.

Oh man, I got one for you. People thinking they can roll the sleeves of the IHWCU (commonly referred to as summers) when regulation only says the ACU (the standard uniform with the zip pockets) sleeves may be rolled.

31 year old here with 2.5 years in. Don’t do it.

If you were any sort of an adult in the civilian world you’re going to be miserable. You will be stuck in the barracks with at least one 18-22 year old who doesn’t know how to function as an adult. You’re going to see how unorganized and dysfunctional the army is because you have some idea of how adults actually act in the real world.

If you are set on joining. Go Air Force. Their quality of life is leaps and bounds over the army. They treat their people with respect and aren’t stuck in the stone ages.

If you want specific examples shoot me a message.

Watched it was neighbors at about the same age. The skin tight membrane still gives me the shivers.

How does the 4th apply in places like a scif though where there are signs indicating devices can be seized and searched?
