and he looked at me like I was retarded... LOL
Ur dealing with millelianals
My buddy joined the navy for 4. He is going on year 19 I think. Same complaints.They want that along with the 'Mothers of America' pussified rules for Recruit Training. You can't have both.
Let the Drill Instructors do their jobs and get the f*** out of the way, or expect a sub-standard product...period.
Some of the guys I'm getting these days are still decent, but I'm thinking they were probably disciplined by their parents before heading to PI. The other 2/3rds of boots, I can't even believe they're in the same branch of service as the rest of us they're so f***ed up. Either the recruiters are getting really desperate, or our beloved Chesty signed a deal with the devil. Either way, things aren't exactly on the up and up right now. I'm well beyond my obligated contract, but still showing up because there's no one capable of leading right now. I understand that it's my duty to create the next leader, but i need some clay to make a brick...all I have is red mud.

Are you sure it's red mud? Could be bloody stool.
I work with a couple of young 20s kids recently discharged. Good hardworking guys. Im sure their respective branches are missing them.

Sarge I need somebody to wipe my ass
I hate to be the barer of bad news...but...did you know Kevin Spacey touches little boys?
If your name is fencer, stop reading now...
...i mean it.
...is he gone?
...can you believe he was surprised by that? 03's are like 'box of hammers' retarded...but let's keep that between us.
Hey, go easy on the 03's.
I was an 0331 and very proud of it. I also started my international marketing company while achieving a high 6 figure income. So much for your box of hammers. By the way, how you doin $
Not anymore. Gen Z is of recruiting age now, and I suspect the fit ones aren't joining for obvious reasons.
Not you, was saying my friend is running into the same issues with some of the younger guys, he keeps resigning because his superiors really value his contribution and hard work.I'm not picking up what you're putting down.
So it's me? And all the other NCO's in my company?
Actually just trying to understand your statement though.
Go figure...I never even knew there was a gen Z.
I'm not at all aware of any 'obvious reasons' for not joining though? Care to elaborate? I'm genuinely curious.
A substantial subset of Gen Z has been labeled Gen Zyklon. They're patriots and have no interest in joining any organization that puts the interests of certain "victim" groups over the purported purpose of the organization.
Put yourself in the shoes of an 18yo male today. You've got some outdoors experience, you're physically fit, you've got some background in firearms whether hunting or target shooting. Your public education has emphasized to you that you're racist because of your white skin and you recognize the hypocrisy. You've observed that it's okay to mock Christians and denigrate them - no one gets punished or told off for that. However if you say anything remotely derogatory about Mohammed, spaghetti monsters, or mother earth, or chew a poptart into an L-shape, you immediately get detention, letters sent home, etc. Blacks and Hispanics get away with whatever they want because if any administrator says anything, the student plays the race card and the administrator is punished. You were thinking about going to college, but they don't want you because you have white skin or not female. How about the military, you've got the foundation for those skills?
About that military: a four-star general starts spouting off about diversity and how great it is. By the way he says, diversity isn't our physical characteristics, it's the way we think and our backgrounds. Five seconds later he invites you to come visit the current crop of recruits at Basic and says you can "see the diversity with your own eyes!" (This actually happened in a non-attribution environment)
This military would rather harangue men about sexual assault than perform rifle drills and discuss transgender issues than practice throwing grenades. All the same things mentioned in school above are also present in the military. By the way it's also trying to encourage women into combat roles they generally aren't physically fit for - rather reminiscent of those colleges that didn't want you either. You'll just have to lug around extra water and ammo for them because they have their hands full with just the body armor (half the time they don't even carry most of the plates or any at all). There is muzzle strike practice, and if you get squared off with a female and don't strike her hard enough dammit she's not getting the training she needs, but if you strike her a bit harder and knock her down you're bullying her (also an actual event).
Gen Z isn't blind, they know all this is going on and have no interest in being part of it. Why should they?

If I ever had someone tell me they were gonna join the military BUT and cite anything from your rant I'd call them a beta little pussy and tell them we don't need them anyway. People who don't serve yet feel the need to tell others why they don't serve all the time are just little bitches. The military aint for everyone, and I hold that against nobody except those who feel the need to make excuses.
The military is still on average much more nationalistic and "f*** the bullshit" than the country at large.

As to the incoming Soldiers/Marines being pieces of shit, soft, etc. I feel like that's a generational thing. Everyone is boot to someone else, and the "old corps" always finds the "new corps" soft.
