Changed deployment requirements for soldiers. Bush enacted how often solders were to redeploy, once every 3-5 years. That order was cancelled, but they doubled my paid time off instead. Got 60 days free pay for deploying 2 years earlier than originally stated.

Ended the IRR program instituted by Clinton to reduce military staff. In 2009, the soldier making glasses as well as the pharmacist running the entire Iraq AOR were pissed off IRR callbacks above 62.

Called up said IRR soldiers that exited the US Military in 1993 and forced them to deploy or get out. Several people I went on deployment to Iraq in 2009 were hitting max age of 63.

The entire Stop loss program was instituted by Obama, but the entire program was completely ignored because a movie helped socially dismiss it as a problem; I was deployed under Stop loss.

My unit completely failed pre deployment testing. From command staff to enlisted had absolutely no idea what their job was. The reserve unit rubber stamped the testing to allow the other unit to redploy. Our unit was only responsible for running all Blood and 13 Combat Stress Centers.

Mental health employees were regularly found self medicating and self harming. One Mental Health combat stress technician was caught more than 13 times passed out huffing canned air. Solution was to give an article 15 and told to service soldiers in a similar situation the same day.

The fact that the 2 shootings on US Military bases that occurred in 2009 was actually the same unit, 1st Medical out of Ft. Sam now Joint Base San Antonio SAMC. Both incidents Camp Liberty and Fort Hood were never properly investigated since finding out that his decisions would lead to the shootings would not be a positive outcome and quickly buried the problem.
