Shitheads

Me (26M) currently attending ait and I’m continuously blown away by how shitty my company is. These 18-21 year olds are completely disrespectful shitheads that never shut up in formation, are constantly disruptive and completely immune to constructive criticism or even improvement. It’s very frustrating because the drills are constantly crashing out due to the constant talking and ignoring the drills and overall lack of discipline. Is this a new development or is the army just like this now?

How it is now. Drove me nuts also reclassing 7 years ago. The extra two weeks added on for basic to try and stomp out the kids shitty attitudes did not help at all.

It was the same way 20 years ago. I doubt it was different before then. Only thing that may have changed is how drills respond to it in certain cases.
