You can only schitt on vets and deny VA claims so long until it makes an impact.
Huh??? I was a regular army career counselor ie the retention guy. Not once did a joe say I’m getting out because the VA sucks and they deny claims.. it was more like the Army sucks, coc sucks, my job sucks, the field sucks, pay sucks etc. as the old saying goes if joe ain’t complaining something wrong..

Not surprised. The military attracts men interested in manliness. Enforcing the woke agenda couldn't have been designed better to keep manly men from wanting anything to do with it.
I skimmed through the article but the part about the Army relaxing standards to allow recruits with neck and hand tattoos without a wavier caught my eye. Sounds like antifa members.
..or gang members. Some gangs sending youngsters to the military to get training (or recruit out of the military) to make them street badasses, so i've been told by some LEO's around here.

There is a pile of money to be made and a great retirement for those who join the military. I hate to see young men and women pass up an opportunity. But, I get it. If the Army were letting homo's and cross dressers in the Army in 1973, I might have taken another option. As a country we are in a pile of danger from outside sources. It's a good thing we still have the 2nd Amendment so us militia types can pick up the slack should Martians or King Kong attack. I really think the only thing keeping China out is a pile of rednecks and 30-06's.

I have buds still who are career counselors. One was telling me these youngsters are going to Ets. As they say Army is to woke. So he was getting beat up by higher ups, I told him put that in your notes. Tell them what the joes are telling you. Put it in their lap let them deal with it. As of last week, CSM (command sergeant majors)had to call soldiers who were on terminal leave and ask if they still want to reenlist. I do know the active component is sucking ass far as retention. On another note those kids coming in with no high school diploma/can’t pass the asvab etc. will be put into the [bleep] mos’s the army has to offer. 92A, 92F, 92S etc. they will never see SGT points are always 798. Majority will do 3 yrs get out. No diploma if they intend on making the Army a career before they reenlist they will need to get a ged or high school diploma.

My son received a counseling over his decision to not re-enlist. That was at the company level (?) had to go do paperwork on it. His CSM called him and asked him if he would as the CSM really likes him personally. Boy said "I'm not going to lie, there's nothing the Army could offer that would get me to stay. There's nothing here for me and I want to simply get on with my life."
CSM respected that transparency.
He's not getting out over the wokeness - he's getting out over the horrible leadership at the NCO level and given NCO's basically "make" junior enlisted - it's there too.
He's a good kid, smart and mature for his age - he just sees a broken system and wants no part of it.
I served and used to recommend the service to young people. Not anymore ! Everything about the military has gone downhill. Even the retirement has gone to chit. The VA is a disaster ! I personally take my friend to the VA and witness their work. Deny deny until they die is the VAs’ motto. The military is getting a well earned bad reputation.

Think about it.. By kicking out everyone who wanted to see the vax at least complete its trials they not only reduced numbers, but also the available recruiting pool. Thing is a huge percentage of the remaining recruiting pool probably couldn't even pass the reduced fitness requirements...

That’s always been a major problem the NCO corp. I seen many sorry ph ucks get promoted. As a retention guy I had plenty of chitty CSM, 1SG’s etc. many times I just wanted to hang it up. Only way to fix the NCO corp have a good csm that will light a fire under their asses. But good CSM are getting harder to find. Don’t get me started on the current Sergeant major of the Army. He’s more worried about how a black women wears her hair than morale of them NCO corp and Soldiers.
