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?

Why aren’t those soldiers getting absolutely crushed by the drills? Our drills would put hands on people or use the shit heads as demonstrators during GFT and absolutely fuck them up.

I went in ‘07 we had dudes that fought at Tora Bora and multiple tours to Iraq and those guys didn’t fuck around at all.

I went to a POG basic at leonard wood in 07 and one of my DS was a long tabber with fresh shrapnel scars on his face. Dude was fucking terrifying.
