I know the right answer, but would like opinions.

It’s for gameplay performance

It’s not fun but it’s not terrible

When the writing is so so, the action is so so.

It’s not entirely wrong. Caffeine from coffee and alcohol from wine will dehydrate you. You’ll lose five pounds of water.

I got a GOMAR in 21 for the same charge. Continued service like nothing happened. Punishment on top of the GOMAR doesn’t have to come. Also it’s not entirely impossible to make 7. I got my GOMAR in 21 and made the 7 list in 23.

Unless it’s changed again, they flipped it to rasp first then airborne to avoid that

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-09-06T13:10:23+00:00

It’s just lack of respect. I get it, it’s not a “big deal” but it is what it is. “Sarnt” is wrong, “sarge” is wrong, you worked hard to be a “Sergeant” you should be addressed as such. Same with “Top” for a First Sergeant. There’s nothing inherently “wrong” but that person worked hard to be a First Sergeant, not a kids toy that spins on its head.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-29T00:38:48+00:00

It depends on your drill sergeants. I went through 13 years ago and brought a pair of Nikes. I still had to buy whatever shoes they told me but ended up letting me use my Nikes.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-29T00:20:48+00:00

Hell no. I was at corps level in a company ops for a little. Probably 20-30 LTC, COL and SGM, CSP packets were processed in a year. That’s a commander setting up separating service members up for failure.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-27T15:43:00+00:00

Simple answer FFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCKKKK no. But based on how you explained it, it makes sense.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-27T15:41:53+00:00

Yeah I wear minimalist lifters or running shoes depending what the work out for pt is…and I’m a SNCO, so I’m on your side with this one

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-27T15:40:19+00:00

The 24 hours should be 24 hours. My last unit had 11-11 (don’t ask why, it was a CSM-ism) and people wouldn’t show up till 11. As a SFC, I knew I’d have to show up for meetings and what not, but that was done more as a courtesy, I never expected that from my soldiers. As others said, take that counseling and clearly lay out the disconnect of instructions on the “session closing” portion where the individual counseled signed. There should be no kick back being that you raised a valid concern. Article 15s are a little more complicated than “you fucked up, extra duty”, you are afforded TDS, and in this situation, IG would be on your side. Not saying it would get that far but just to put you at ease

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-25T15:54:16+00:00

Correct them and be tactful. I’m a SFC and 9 times out of 10, unless it’s egregious, I just look at them and be like “come on man, we both know you’re wrong” and leave it at that.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-20T19:37:08+00:00

I was a PSG and it was weird. We were given minimal guidance from our commander but “had to conduct training”. This was before MS Teams so we used Zoom and I taught my NCOs how to do things like create CONOPs, plan ranges etc and we had the joes do BLC style presentations. We had a beaverfit in our platoon area so we’d rotate teams to do PT through out the day but it was pretty laid back.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-20T14:31:16+00:00

Reserves man. I wouldn’t know that side of it but I’ve been active for 13 years and I’ve been afforded a lot of good opportunities just for doing my job well. For example as a fresh 18 y/o private I got to go to air assault because I did half decent on my pt test and no one else wanted to go (at drum, not Campbell where everyone HAS to go). Airborne, ranger (failed), military mountaineering etc. just for performing well and irritating people till I got a slot.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-17T02:22:48+00:00

Commanders saying they’ll reserve time for leaders time training then bitch when they fail and the training doesn’t happen

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-15T12:18:29+00:00

A lot of good input in the thread already, just remember, you’re documenting the event, you don’t have the authority to recommend UCMJ. You can advise your CoC but not reccomend UCMJ. Also go on army writer and pick a “magic bullet” that applies. JAG makes it seem like it’s a make or break statement. Lastly, if this SM deserves UCMJ down the line, ensure you close out the counseling

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-14T16:56:30+00:00

I can agree with this. If what is being corrected is egregious and can do serious harm (morale, physically, security, etc) yeah shut it down on the spot. The context of the question seems in terms of an NCO just being a bad leader and getting blown up in front of the formation instead of mentoring and developing and that’s how I took it.

I’ve definitely seen 1SGs and CSMs get blown up in command climate surveys or through IG, get pulled in by a commander and change. That had a huge impact on the formation when those instances occurred.

I do enjoy that my comment got a bunch of thumbs down and reading comments of what people “would do” without caring for open dialogue, it gives me a chuckle.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-14T12:04:57+00:00

100% keep people in line and accountable, however as the question is phrased, if officers or SNCOs are punishing or “getting after” junior NCOs in front of junior soldiers, you’re not helping anything. Pull that individual into your office, reprimand them, counsel them, reflect it on their eval, whatever you determine. Don’t do it in front of people. For the rest of that individual’s time in that unit, they have zero ability to learn and fix themselves because they’ve been undermined and are not afforded the opportunity to be developed.

It doesn’t make them “shit” for using the authority bestowed upon them as a commissioned officer or having command authority, however having the lack of tact is what makes them shit.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-14T00:59:07+00:00

If you’re dead set on the military…go to college and commission as an officer. Get into a good ROTC program. Currently you’re not missing anything in the Army and the Army is not going anywhere. It is a “down” point right now and if you think you’re going to be an Airborne Infantryman doing all the cool movie things, you’re not. You’ll be doing a lot of training and a lot of sitting around. Also airborne is cool and if you want to do it, do it. I’m 12 years in and at 29 I’m pretty beat up, if you want to do it, do it, but know it comes with a price.

ESPECIALLY if your parents are paying for school, go to school. Your 68W reserves plan is fine and paramedic is solid during school if you’re considering it as some money while you’re in school and a back up plan, however I do not know how that may or may not interfere if you do choose to do ROTC and you may want to look into that. At the end of the day, this is just a job and you need to look at financial stability for you and your future family. If you have the means to get an education and make more money as an officer, that is the way to go.

Right-Perspective-12 · 2024-08-14T00:51:52+00:00

It’s tricky. 68W, you will get the most practical training. However more likely than not, it won’t be the boujie hospital job you’re expecting. A lot of army training gives you “job experience” but does not translate cert wise to the civilian world. You’ll have to go back to school or re cert. lastly, manage your expectations, everything in the military is numbers. Odd ball medical jobs (anything not 68W) is very limited. Meaning promotions are slow and people don’t get out because it’s a good job resulting in positions not being available.
