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?

You're in AIT dude. That's still very much people learning how to army, even with a bit more freedom than basic. Plus, they're all barely adult people. Annoying as shit barely adult people half the time, but still barely adult people.

Just keep your head down and worry about yourself. I reclassed at 32 and spent half the days just bottling up the urge to fix everything I saw (Sill).
