Mustang posted:This was easily the dumbest field exercise I've ever been on. You could tell that the BDE doesn't have many people with experience going to Yakima anymore. Newer CivAffairs Officer at beginning of exercise: "Wait, so what the hell are we even supposed to do out here?" adjacent CivAffairs NCO: 'The American Army would like to thank you for your service to your country, sir" Even some contractors were like "guess I'll just gently caress off for 12 hours every day since they paid me to be out here without giving me a job to do."

I got yelled at by a lot of E-9s for dumb poo poo. Met 1 that was amazing. Literally bent over backwards for soldiers if he needed to. Teaches at a college now. The dumbest was right after we landed from a 15 month deployment. We had our PCs on because our 1 star told us to for reverse srp. Sorting my duffels from the rest when some dumb loving SGM yells at me for being in garrison and wearing a PC. Had another who was relevant in his job 20 years prior to where we needed him. Like calling MOS jobs by their old numbers. 55 series for ammo etc. Had to be told repeatedly that regs have changed allowing ir disallowing for something. Got told I was too fat for TV from a SGM too. He didnt tell me, he told my regional command. I found out through a cc line in an email chain.

My first real introduction to an e9 was when I was cutting through the grass instead of walking on the sidewalk. Exactly the way you imagine it going is probably how it went.

My accent was odd enough to throw drat near anyone that they'd be too bewildered to keep being dickheads and just move on. Except for one sgm who called me a fuckin horse thief which threw me for a spin.

i had a cool e9 that actually did poo poo my first drill ever was before i went to basic since i was dep (enlisted senior yr and went the following january) we were up at devens and I had nothing issued but one set of bdus and a set of the old pt sweats. he gave me his gortex for the weekend since it was raining, and stupid me was walking around as a e-1 with 1sg rank on, and noone knew who I was so everyone kinda sorta went to at ease for a sec when talking to me before asking how many people i signed up under the bucks for buddies program

I asked a retired e9 why the gently caress they care about little poo poo and he was so broke brained he didn't see how giving a poo poo about everyone's minor reg violations hurts morale and take away focus from the visions they actually cared about, especially when it became clear they would never use their rank to get privileges or help soldiers in the most toxic incarnations. To him every little violation was emblematic of some perceived larger issue the army had and how it's soldiers that suck now. It was a real life version of PrincipalSkinner.jpg but i was providing the contesting voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMqZ2PPOLik

In my community in the green Navy our E-9s believe that informality and occasional hands in pockets are causing all the issues and in turn low morale. The higher ranks are solely those left after everyone decent skips out

Nostalgia4Butts posted:so is this like hq platoon sgt or something then? Headquarters company, running the medical platoon. Splitting hairs, kind of, but it's large and arcane enough that everybody else is happy to let medical be its own thing. Slim Pickens posted:So you do what, keep count of how much Motrin gets used? Doesn't seem too bad It could be way worse; I could still be active. Now I don't have to give a poo poo if someone goes to jail. It's mostly handling the logistics of setting up and running an aid station, making sure ranges and exercises are covered, occasional evac, and teaching CLS ad nauseum, along with vaccines and mass HIV screenings. I've got about 40 people, 9 mostly broken FLAs, and around 100 chests of poo poo to do it with. That part is kind of a pain in the rear end since this unit spends nearly every drill in the field, but I've done it before. It's also staying on top of supply and maintenance orders, getting people to recert training and other schools, handling pay issues, navigating office politics, and other assorted managerial bullshit that comes with running a big, visible section. That's also kind of a pain in the rear end, but still not new. What loving sucks about this is all the unscheduled, unpaid time vampire bullshit that level of leadership has to handle outside of drill. Conference call meetings, emails, texts, and phone calls about everything operational and administrative. "Dude is ghosting a background check instigator, please handle it." "Newbie can't make a CIF appointment before an all-field AT because the one at AIT hosed up her turn in, what do?" I have a job, kids, and school. I finally have a life outside of the goddamn army. I just want to live it without a needledicked specter in velcro fetish camouflage pajamas constantly hanging in my periphery. I think I'm gonna try to get fired.
