One thing that made me decide to leave after 5 1/2 years was that I noticed every assignment had an idiot who outranked me. I can imagine it’s much worse now with this woke stuff.
I feel your pain, brother. I worked for two Captains during my 4 years in Germany, they never should have been allowed near soldiers.
It got better for me after my new battalion commander was able to observe my work performance. We went back to Fort Bliss about the same time, and he asked me to work for him again at his directorate.
He appointed me as Operations Officer, a position usually held by a LT Colonel. I was a Captain with about a year time in grade. Trust me, the job wasn't that difficult.
Pretty much. I was Navy but when I was a civilian working for the Marines i noticed the Majors were the worst. Idiots. The Colonels were ok, in the Marines it takes a savvy, smart guy to make Colonel. Not so much O6 in the Navy outside the line.
