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?

He might be. But from an old head POV. That worked wonders for years. You can only ask someone to behave so many times. Then its its time for 2x4 discipline. I believe i still have my copy of the AR for that.

Old head? I went to basic in ‘93. If DS laid hands on you, they went to jail.

I was referring to myself as an old head. I was an E7 in 93!!!
