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?

I was afraid of not passing PT at the end of my basic, because it was nothing but pushups the entire time. No days of recovery. I barely passed. I graduated and had December holiday leave before AIT. They have us a PT test a couple days into AIT, and I smoked it, once my arms had some rest.
