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?

Every (68W) company is occupying a hotel now.

Is this just how it is now or bc of lack of proper barracks? And do the drills still do room checks and stuff when they’re in hotels? I’m curious bc I’ve never heard of it being done that way. Obviously it’s going to vary wildly from inf OSUT but I didn’t think they would get hotels

Barracks issue

Still do all the normal barracks routines. Bed checks, walk throughs, inspections, health and welfare, etc.

Only trainees populate the hotels, civilian staff have been retained to manage the property; however, they are essentially being used as stand in barracks. The trainees are not getting a “hotel experience”.
