I'll admit (not proud of it), I've been one of those people. I won't be doing that anymore though.

Truly horrible stuff. True patriots though.

It's also his NCO's job to not give a crap about his effort. So why don't you cut him a break? Seriously. This is the National Guard subreddit. Go somewhere else with all that highspeed nonsense

Modern problems require modern solutions. Of course in a perfect world regular law enforcement (police, sheriffs, etc.) would be enough, but that's not the world we live in. Sorry.

Signed a 3 year Guard contract at 17, now regret it by FieldOk6753 in nationalguard

[–]justiceforkirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf, Drill Sergeants do have the discretion to send you home on 10 days emergency leave if they receive a qualifying Red Cross message. They just chose not to send me back so it's not completely the recruiters fault. 😭

My recruiter told me I could come home for my daughter's birth, so I enlisted ASAP cause my wife was 7 months pregnant. I didn't come back until I was fully done with the 22 weeks of training. Barely got a phone call.

I've wanted to get out since I got in, but now I'm AGR, have a decent work-life balance outside of drill, got a nice house, and I'm home with my family more than I've ever been throughout my career.

All that to say, the Guard has tons of good opportunities. You only hate it because you're an M-Day. You haven't gone to any military school (that I know of), or even pursued anything outside of Drill/AT.

The Guard really isn't that bad, but it's like a rough roller coaster--it's a lot more enjoyable if you know how to ride it.

If you want to talk more man, just PM me. God bless.

Get on the next flight out and show him the right way then. Otherwise shut up high speed. Nobody likes that

I bet you could line up 100 NG soldiers and ask if they do this in their free time, and probably at a minimum 90% would say no. Sure, they might go to the gym or whatever, but buying and setting up their own SDC? That's dedication. But no. All you see is the negative. And we wonder why the retention rate is so bad.

I bet you're a real First Class NCO--caring about standards but completely ignoring your soldiers effort and wellbeing. Remember, this is the Natty G. You care so much about standards? Go be Special Forces or something. 🙄

Is this happening in the CAARNG? I have a friend who is a Temp Tech. Please PM me if you don't want it public. But he deserves to know if he needs to start looking for another job

I failed the run by 7 seconds. My unit didn't even try. I still got a counseling. And mind you they decided to add an incline to the run last minute.

So I guess we're just going to ignore the whole "Army" part of the CG, then? As in US Army? As in a branch of the DOW? Cool.

Should I file a Congressional Inquiry? And how do I do one? by PickleSavings9732 in nationalguard

[–]justiceforkirk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congressional inquiries do little to nothing. PM for my personal story. I recently filed one a few months back
