You served in a completely different era.
Up until a few years ago, it was normal to have an alcohol related incident. When I came in, almost every SNCO had at least one. Now, almost any alcohol related incident is a career killer. A DUI now is a general under honorable under best conditions. You also didn’t serve in an era where you practically have to get a consent form notarized before it’s considered rape. I mean, let’s be honest...current active duty live in a service where an E-8 was disciplined for having Chick Fil A at his promotion ceremony, because it offended his homosexual Major. Yes, you can get fired for liking Chick Fil A.
This isn’t even getting into the fact that it’s a scientific fact that TBIs change the neurological makeup of the brain, or anything like that.
People like you are the reason active duty military and recently separated military are blowing their brains out at an astonishingly high rate due to an unwillingness to get help or talk to people. So why don’t you shut your yap about something you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.
be glad to give my address so you can shut it for me. Seems to me it’s an all volunteer Army so if they can’t take the heat why the hell are they in there?
Responses like this are the reason so many are leaving FR.
Jackass.
Yep. When I read that 9% are leaving with "bad paper" discharges, I was actually shocked it is that high. Any NJP today is a career killer. Used to be a right of passage. Today, you're going home and good luck after that. For crying out loud, we have people serving time in Leavenworth for punching enemy combatants in the face. And grizzled old vets from a far different eras have the nerve to tell those soldiers to man-up?
