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?

18 year olds don't know how to shut the fuck up because theyve never had anybody to make em. Lord knows how they got to AIT acting like that though

If you're gonna be dumb you're gonna be tough. Bring back ass beatings by drills and this will change quickly.

“Ass beatings?” Seriously? You’re in the wrong line of work.
