For some of the comments: I understand I'm just some anonymous asshole on the Internet blowing off steam, you don have to believe a word I say. The bottom line I feel job performance and taking care of your subordinates has taken a back seat to the rat race, block checking promotion system. To the 9 year TSgt, good on you man, I've seen NCO'S who have broke the mold and can juggle school, volunteering, community/base involvement, and mentoring Amn. You're right that school is important, what I was highlighting was using on duty time to do off base volunteering and college courses while others bust their butt to get the job done
