Why does leadership always want people go to the field, regardless?

So i'm about a month out and they are scheduling me to go to an 2 week long training. I'm not getting off it that's for sure, but i just want to know what is with the leaders want every single person regardless of the circumstances to be in every field exercise. If they are only profile, they can't do anything in the field, and if they are ETSing, what's the point of training them anyway?

Ha! Ha! Ha! Lody Dody Everybody. Lower enlisted are always looking for ways to get out of field problems. Shorter days and more time on the Xbox in garrison looks pretty nice when your teammates are sweating it out in White sands.

SPC (Join to see) because once you start cutting exceptions it will be the Commander and the 1SG in a blinking contest in a GP Small huddled around a jetboil. I get it, other things to do. I've walked in those shoes. I've also been among those forced out to the field. Making our customers go to the field with DS maintenance work. I've cleared the installation from the field. I've gone to the field with my personal field gear.
You need all the people you can, especially if you are being evaluated. Perimeters, guard rosters, obstacles, ECPs, command posts, and crew served weapons won't man themselves...that's just to sustain yourself, never mind perform your METL.
I am sure they stayed up late at night planning and scheming for weeks on this field exercise just to monkey pump you personally in your last thirty days. Check with TISA to see if they cutoff your favorite UGR-As and MRES in advance. Speaking of weeks, this has been on a the training calendar at least 6 weeks. Unless this was a HHQ directed no notice roll out. Someone somewhere would have had to fight at the TRM to get the training area months out.
