With so few soldiers willing to raise their hand, you all need to realize the leverage you now have. With the old GWOT guard leaving, it’s your time to make the Army what you want it to be.

I find it unbelievable that as a whole we are still doing collective PT in the morning.

Walk into any SF group area you’ll see crickets at 0630.

Why? Because PT is part of their work day and most always on their own. Most do it in the morning and the others around lunch or literally whenever there is time during the workday. As long as you are maintaining yourself, no one will get on your case to do one thing or the other.

Most non training days are 0900-1500. Rarely ever ridiculously early or late days. They get in, knock things out, then go home to their families. Everything is done the most efficient way possible.

You guys are over complicating things and not evolving with the times. Stop perpetuating draconian rules and doing the same old because it’s always been done that way.

You’re all making the Army so much less enjoyable.
