I was on active duty from 77-81. I doubt I'd recognize today's military. We had our own challenges during the Carter Administration, at the start of the All Volunteer Force.
I was lucky, and had some great experiences. My ADA battalion was airbase defense, for 3 NATO air bases: Hahn, Spangdahlem, and Bitburg. My first two years at Hahn, I was the Army Liasion Officer in the Wing Command Post. IOW, I'd spend all 4 days in the hole, as I was the only officer besides my Battery Cdr with a TS clearance.
I remained with the battalion during my entire tour. My last battalion commander was a no-nonsense leader. He took us from a C-3 to a C-1, in no small part by kicking out the malcontents and nonperformers, over 60 in all (10% of the battalion).
He could not do that today, that is certain.
