One of the main reasons why solders are getting out the Army is because of toxic Leadership and low morale.Contacting soldiers on the weekend , making them stay past 1700 , no type of company morale is not the right answer. In the past two years 3 soldiers have committed suicide with in the Brigade.It’s sad how it takes a solider to die before a issue is addressed. When soldiers are happy and...

For context, me and a couple other people who live in the barracks rent out a storage unit off post to store our firearms so we dont have to register them.on post and store them in the arms room or coordinate the picking up and dropping off of our own firearms with someone off post whenever we want to go shoot them. These firearms have never come on post, will never come on post and are permanent...

How often do you cover for your Soldiers? Let’s say one doesn’t answer their phone before pt formation, but are never late. Would you cover for them? Something like “yeah his car isn’t starting I’ll go help him after pt”. Are you going to do it? Anyone have any stories for covering for their guys?

Like come on bro (being the Army leadership) the reason people aren’t enlisting is because people come back to their hometowns and tell people how ass the experience was.

I’m sure I’m not the only one whose heard this, so WHERE IS THE REAL ARMY? Hmm? Where is it?...

After reading the last chaps story and people said yall need more good (postive) stories. I came from methed out parents who only taught me to lie, cheat, steal, and do hard drugs. Taken away by CPS at 9, foster care for 2 years, then in/out of grand ma's/friends couch surfing tell I turned 16 and got emancipated. I did well in HS but couldnt really afford life after because I simply had no work...

Many people tend to bring up that the Army blows because of the shitty barracks, DFAC, leadership etc. Which don’t get me wrong, they are very big issues. But I think a very underrated reason why the Army sucks is the sheer amount of bureaucracy involved in just about any admin action.

OCONUS leave forms, packets, schools, 4187s, just about any admin action has like 10 different personnel and...
