The first step towards change is awareness, the second would be taking initiative, being intuitive and doing something about it. As you all may know this can be hard to do especially coming from the bottom, but not impossible. I was just wondering if I could get any feedback or input on steps I could do as a lower enlisted to help my units morale?

For starters, find out if your unit has a Unit Morale NCO. If not, volunteer for that position then start brainstorming ideas with 1SG, the Commander and fellow Soldiers to see what events and activities they are interested in doing.

That’s a great idea, thank you for your input and I’ll be taking steps towards that ASAP.

Biggest thing is to not have a crappy attitude towards work and the Army. A bad attitude can drag down your fellow soldiers quicker than anything. It's ok to think, yeah it sucks, but lets make the best of it! Army is too easy, I dont get why a lot of juniors have a crap mentality

I understand that, but the mentality and attitude is a two way street, most people build off of one another. There are soldiers that will have a pessimistic view no matter what, as there are NCOs alike. It’s not just juniors with a crap mentality.

I'm in AIT right now and my peers already have crap attitudes and mentalities. It's a shame. I'm hoping it'll improve the longer I'm in but of course I know there are negative people everywhere. You are right though. It is too easy. Some people just don't see it that way.
