They should just check how many people tried to enlist in the early 2000s that were refused and didn't have felony charges! I was one

Can confirm, in my old unit we had a priv get PRK, he was still on quarters, we had a PT test and our wonderful 1st sgt demanded to know why said pvt wasn't dressed for it. His whole chain of command from team leader to PL leader told the 1st sgt that the priv just had PRK, was still on quarters and was exempt. 1st sgt demanded to see papers proving this, the papers the priv had in his hand were blank (because he couldn't fucking see), 1st sgt said well he doesn't have papers he taking the PT test as is. The priv took the PT test, got sweat in his eyes and ruptured blood vessels in his eyes, he's now legally blind and was other then honorably discharged for it. This same 1st sgt was caught making money bets with our CSM on how many joes he could get chaptered out per week and month. IG complaints were made, finds out the NCOIC for our Brigade was banging our 1st sgt, so all the complaints ended up on his desk every time.

@@motox49 Dear baby jeesus, PRK was by far the most miserable I've been physically in my life for at least 2 solid weeks after the surgery (I say that having had 2 hernia surgeries and a broken foot). THEY LITERALLY SCRUB A LAYER OFF OF YOUR EYEBALLS TO DO THE SURGERY ffs... I mean hell I didn't use the steroid drops often enough and I've been told many times I have heavy scarring on my eyeballs that will affect me when I'm older, so I couldn't imagine if I had to deal with jackass leadership on top of such a shitty situation. I found out too when I got off of con-leave that I wasn't even properly put on quarters or con-leave because back then leaveweb wasn't a thing and our CSS didn't file my paperwork.

There's a good video on RU-vid about Napoleons Marshalls. What struck me is they all came from varied backgrounds, some were even working class and worked their way up the ranks, proving themselves in battle. One even became the King of Naples, not bad for the son of an inn keeper. While Brit Officers were upper class who paid for their commission, talent wasn't necessary.

@@notmenotme614 while true British officer did pay for their commissions, it doesn't mean they didn't have talent. Infact most British officers were great at their jobs. From the Major to Colonel, the British Battalions fought better than their French counter parts. Where the 'bad' officers were, was usually on the staff of the division level. The Duke's staff was very well kept, because the Duke himself limited the authority of the staff. Meanwhile, excellent commanders such as Rowland Hill, Thomas Graham, and Crawford, could easily handle separate commands, and excelled at them. Meanwhile British Officers were very courageous. and held off the French in a thin line that they kept steady. British Battalions piece for piece, were better than the French, meanwhile the staff work in battle was good, yet on campaign, the staff didn't do great. The aristocrats also we're the few that could read, and had experience in administrative duties. Many were in militia's in Ireland, or had served in India. So British officers we're better at keeping discipline, and we're equally courageous as the French, As their commanders out maneuvered the poor French Generals. Such as Junot, Mormont, McDonald, Soult, Massena. The French always had greater fire power in terms of cannon, so Experienced British commanders would keep their men safe, by advancing swiftly, lying prone, or waiting on the reverse slope. Stories from the mess don't count for how they acted in the field. VERY FEW British battalions broke and fled.

And Mister Miagi said it to his Karate student.

Napoleon did NOT say that. What he said was, "There's no such thing as bad regiments, only bad colonels."

"Suffer in silence."

Know it has been awhile since you posted his but it is very similar to something that happened to me. Needless to say I have had and still have so much worse that came of my service, which I still want to do to this day. FUBAR though and am retired =(. 90% with 10 different service connected disabilities. I didn't fight the VA's findings when I retired, and I should have. Still haven't to this day, and I should. I have a hard time asking for help. Had a Chief of the Watch down in Kings Bay, GA that had us standing watches in EHW during deep winter, with winds a howling. Needless to say was freaking cold, especially with the wind blowing through the EHW building covering the sub. Was on the east side pier bunker manning a Mk43. No cold weather gear was issued to the watches, if I am not mistaken, because it looked unprofessional and they didn't want to bother sourcing it for weather that would pass in a few days or something to that effect. Well about 6 1/2 hours into an 8 hour topside watch, I was shaking so bad I was having spasms in my back so bad I could hardly stand or walk. Shooting pains like I experienced during and after my spinal fusions. Was freaking hurting. I have had 3 spinal fusions now from sub duty, amongst 8 other major surgeries (shoulders, knees, hernias, etc.). 6'5" and sub duty isn't exactly a good fit haha. Well other than the absolute neck and back pain from the shivering and my teeth chattering so much I chipped a damn tooth somehow, I was coughing up blood and snot. Snot that I had been swallowing down all watch from the 40mph gust in sub freezing temps. So I imagine the wind chill was pretty damned low lol. Coughing up a blood and snot mixture, quickly turned into throwing up said mixture. Had to be relieved of my watch 90 minutes before it ended. I was an E-2 at the time, so fairly junior then. Was being accused of malingering. Thank god our Corpsman had my back after I got relieved, because the COW wanted to write up articles for said relief. When the CO saw me the next morning he was PISSED OFF. Needless to say they had cold weather gear on the boat the next day. Experiences like that molded me into the outstanding leader I know I am. Never, NEVER, would do that to my men. Never would have them do something I wasn't willing to do. And damned sure didn't discipline them for something out of their control. Had some crappy Chiefs at that time. Needless to say. Chief Electronics Technician (SS/IDW) Retired Hooyah!

@@rogerborg Don't be so sure ... back in the 80's (Australian Army, not US) I was called in my CSMs office and told I was going to be doing extra guard duty the following night, even though I wasn't due for guard for a month. I asked why ... because it was clearly a punishment and I had ZERO clue how I'd screwed up. CSM told me that I hadn't been standing still while on parade that morning. The only problem was that it wasn't me ... it was the guy standing next to me that was doing it and the Sergeant that was **behind** us had fingered the wrong guy. I was seriously pissed off as this would mean I was on duty during the unit farewell for one of my best mates. I thought about it a minute and said "Sorry ... I'll take the charge". CSM was shocked but told me that wasn't an option, and my reply was "It is. I'm not going to turn up for duty tomorrow night and then you're going to have to charge me, and the CO is going to hear the entire story". The end result was that the Sergeant had to take me out for 'extra drill training' that evening and after 10 minutes we packed it in and went to the farewell. Maybe it's different these days, but I wasn't the only soldier I knew who refused a bullshit discipline and demanded to be charged.

Send the wife to record the CG when she asks him why this units SGM is giving ART15s for the Army breaking them, and then tell him she’s emailing it to every member on the Senate Joint Arms Committee.

unless you can make it to flag rank.. military life is ...harsh.

That's the plan. Get rid of the good soldiers and bring in the shitbags that will blindly follow orders

In a way, it makes a bit more sense in that situation. But without more context you cant say if it was th right or wrong call. Eg. If he/she followed all his training right and it was faulty equipment (and he/she didnt make it faulty) then 100% article 15 is dumb AF. But if they were walking around without glove liners on or something its a bit more iffy.

Yikes

I used all the "proper" gear and was never warm in the army during the winter. I even managed to receive minor cold weather injuries on my feet with proper gear and training. It's 25 years later, and I still require meds to keep propper circulation in my feet during the coldest months. Always will. Having run into an officer who thought unit level officers, not doctors, should be allowed to tell a soldier if their injury warranted lighter duty or not, I think that officers should have to go through a detailed course that lets them learn how permanent some of this crap can be.

@@desertrat7634 you’re absolutely right. And it’s sad to say but things haven’t changed too much. I will say, training in the cold weather environment and the precautions are a little better but overall the army still doesn’t care. I saw our medical provider (a captain) for all my back issues… the conversation ended with him saying “hey man, I mean we all have a little back pain”.

Let me guess, his nco smoked him by ordering him to remove his gloves and do push-ups on ice

Too many people don't realize that we don't get 2nd chances with knees or backs. If you hurt them and don't get them fixed correctly right away, and sometimes even when you do, they will never be 100% again.

That’s Fort Lewis at its best, man. Not to mention, you really showed how phenomenal Madigan truly is. I got LASIK at Madigan and they forgot to numb my eyes… I felt them slit my eyes to make the flap in my cornea. The toxicity here at Lewis is crazy - like you, I was highly motivated and dedicated to reenlist. But instead, I reclassed and went guard to see if that would change my opinions. *SPOILER:* IT DID NOT! Should’ve went Air Force!… 😂

;-;

There is a difference between being hard and being completely stupid. Ignoring preventable injuries during training is stupid as it degrades the force. Also, if real injuries aren't treated, how do they expect medics to ever get any sort of real training? treating actual cold weather injuries and seeing the results of said cold weather treatments is invaluable for a medic out in the field. Yet you have commanders scaring injured soldiers into hiding and concealing their injuries and eventually degrading your current manpower.

@@StrainXv ;-;

This nco really knows how to motivate, it's only an NCO the backbone of infantry.

@@odashogun Thank you. My grandpa passed away many years ago, but he was combat infantry in WWII in Europe and joined the Army Signal Corp just as Korea was kicking off as he figured if he waited he'd get drafted and he didn't want to risk that (as he was dating my grandmother by this time), as he wouldn't be able to pick an occupation and figured he'd end up in the infantry a second time, having already had some close calls in WWII. So he joined, immediately got shipped to Korea, being a WWII veteran and all, and his unit was, as I understood it, attached to the Marines to facilitate their communications, and of course they ended up trapped with them at the Chosin Reservoir. So it didn't really go to plan. That's life I suppose. He ended up with trench foot, frost bite, and said that cans of food were frozen solid often with no where to warm them, and that he couldn't believe the Chinese just attacking in waves and being machine gunned, and dead bodies just frozen in place in awkward positions, which I imagine would be surreal. He had considered making a career of the army, but after WWII, Korea, and a year or two on the burial service, he decided that he'd had enough.

Proper equiptment kept many American alive. The Chinese lost many to cold. The civilians are the ones who suffered the greatest.

Yeah, the Army has the nerve to publish articles about the problem of "how do we retain the great dedicated soldiers and kick out the lazy worthless ones?" And then for no reason that has ever been explained in my hearing: "Hurr durr, we have to treat everyone the same. Hurr durr mass punishment makes everyone disciplined.

You're exactly right. Fighting through injury in a way that can lead to permanent disability or death in a life and death situation makes sense. Doing that during training is idiocy. Who cares if you prove that you were (past tense) willing to accept permanent injury while training at ft wherever, USA?

@@HolyFurryFish1998 well, they don't punish them. They reward them with a round to the face if they can no longer sacrifice themselves on their own. Emperor protects.

Always a classic lol

I Fucking Resent that. I was a damn good leader/NCO. Just fact one... I was always sent to complete some other fuck ups detail as they were dipshits and not respected. AS A CORPORAL.

@@odashogun I’ve personally been blessed with some solid NCOs, just a joke there bud

It’s 5 now. Must be his drinking buddies putting in their two cents.

That shit had me rolling on the floor.

DEVILS SPIIIIINE BAAAAABYYYYYYY!!!!!

Just a little... 👌🏻

had a friend with a compressed spine from a 100lb IED blast. He had to get a ton of surgeries. His command pulled the same crap saying he was malingering. He even had a Gunny talking crap to him at the hospital on Chucks friday because of his purple heart. I guess having your back busted up from an enemy explosive device doesnt rate.

You nailed it. I got out after my initial 3....and my intention was to be a lifer.

Had the same thought. That must be such a shitty place to serve.

Thought he said Polk. Not disappointed to see this here.

I wonder if he knows about angry cops

The national taint.

As being in 2-4 IN Fort Polk its not bad being in 2-4

...or dying" ?????? The temps were just under +40°.... Their MSS (Sleeping bag system) goes down to -20°, at least. They get issued cold weather gear. They have multiple pairs of socks. They could have avoided those "cold weather injuries" if their lower level NCOs had any REAL training, or had the INTERNET to look up "how to deal with the cold" or "how the military deals with the cold" videos on RU-vid. 🤷‍♂️ Just saying..... It seems like that "okayest_sergeant" failed to prepare or protect his/her troops from having/incurring cold weather injuries, due to his/her lack of preparation or lack of looking for a solution (all so easily done online, in modern times). Al he/she did was complain about what others did or said, but never commented on what he/she did or failed to do for his/her Soldiers to avoid/prevent the "frostbite"/etc. (Which is in the CTT Manual). It's not like the snow and cold weather happened all within an hour, and caught them all unprepared. If they are checking social media, they can sure as hell check the weather. They had weather warnings BEFORE the "storms" actually hit. Preparation for the weather is the NCO's responsibility, over his/her "Joes".

@@TruthfullyBogus, oh really ??? How long has it been since you retired ???

@@TruthfullyBogus, how's it feel playing a video game to pretend like you were in actual combat, POG ?

I suffer from chronic, neuromuscular, pain in my right leg, and the hip in particular often feels like the joint is grinding in the socket, like a mortar and pestle ... But I can't even being the pain of walking 2 miles with a broken hip ... on the international recognised scale of 0-10, where 0 is no pain at all, and 10 is a broken bone, if not a compound fracture, that's easily > 9.75 ... how the hell you achieved that was astonishing, if not outstanding ...

Sounds like you wanna be in the Navy

Get the crayons

Well tents were certainly being pitched, Ill tell you that much

You misheard him, He said pitch your tents. Not set them up

military life is harsh and knowing that you're nothing more than a cog....well that helps.

@@cosmeticscameo8277 In the military just like civilian live, people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers. Officers at bad commands are the exact same people who end up as bad managers for Wallmart or Homedepot. Met many a terrible former military officer who went on to be the worse sort of store manager at such jobs and their stories and reasoning were always they same. "I am right because of the position I hold. The store associate I just broke the leg of with this forklift is at fault for me not watching where I was going and having never gotten forklift certification." They are living Principle Skinner memes.

Like they won't stack the court against you. Your peers, who stand in judgement over you, will all be friends of the SGM or Battalion Commander, not actual peers, and you will be found guilty.

But it's calling their bluff. They don't want to take it that far.

@@abikeanditsboy3449 I guess what I am asking is when has an enlisted member had the authority to article 15 anyone. As a senior enlisted member that was up to the commander and legal. I know the commander was on board of the idiot train but legal saying it was ok???

Amen.

@@lbindert namely because it shines light on their bullshit. And in a court martial everything comes out. Especially with a competent lawyer. Plus throw some press into it.

@@merkkenem rite*

Used to tell my guys something similar. Being demoted is often a sign of integrity if the soldier is otherwise squared away. Someone has to be the bullsh1t filter, and if you're in that position, have the balls to shield your guys from stupid games, because command doesn't win the stupid prizes, your men do.

Damn, never got one AND never fucked anyone in uniform over. My grandfather said that of all his medals he earned in WWII, after he was found starving in a machine gun nest with his bayonet through the eye socket of the last man to give him shit on Pelilu, the one he was most proud of was his GCM. So, I made a point of staying active a year longer than him and getting 2.

@@pfzht how many years you got in

@@HT-tc2ep ETS'd Honorable after 5 years active.

Tried it, can confirm.

and in recent times they had to deal with commands soft coddling bullshit

400 TIMES A FUCKING WEEK .

And nowadays, they have to deal with commanders who want them to be soft on the enlisted. Hell, i remember seeing a video where one of them said to a Drill Sergeant that he thought it would be harder

I did my 20 years in the Navy and retired as an CPO/E-7 back in 2019. I can say that the grass IS greener on the other side (private sector). Sure, once you land your first job, develop and continuously revise one's resume, and obtaining certs/credentials, it's not as hard as what some may think. With all of the bullshit I went through my last 3 years in Norfolk VA (a.k.a. The 10th Circle of Hell) and seeing how backstabbing and toxic senior leadership was towards me and others, coupled with the bullshit going on now from a political perspective being pushed on the troops, I am happy I retired when I did.
