How do you "roll press" the OCP uniform?

While Sections 630-632 of U.S. Code 10 remain in effect, CW2 (Join to see), any company- or field-grade officer who wants to stay in the business of defending his country needs to pay attention to promotion boards. Been there, done that, didn't get a t-shirt.
Ditto for warrant officers under Section 580.
And the "honorary retirement" alternative (no pay, just keep the commission and go on the "Break glass in case of really bad war" list) was closed out in the '90s.
If you think writing "up or out" into law is stupid, by all means feel encouraged to share that opinion with your Congressional delegation. In the meantime, you might want to think carefully about the advice you give young officers and soldiers who are looking forward to a lifetime spent doing unpleasant things so loved ones can sleep safe and sound.

1LT William Clardy - That's the problem, like I said. People are working to write their evaluations - not the most selfless of service. They should be writing their evaluations through their work. That way the system works. If you do your job as a Soldier, mission first, then promotion shouldn't be a problem. We will retain who is best and become better, not who looks best despite mediocre work.

That may be the way the system works in your neck of the woods, CW2 (Join to see). Have you ever had a rater tell you that you can p*** him off just by walking in the room, or one who didn't even spell your name right on your NCOER? Ever heard a Cav troop commander tell one of his platoon leaders, over the tactical net, that he didn't care if he made it back to home station after a large-scale exercise?
To draw a coarse analogy, would you tell a new driver to just focus on driving safely and not bother with wearing a seat belt?

1LT William Clardy wearing a seat belt is under regulation. People don't wear their seat belt in a desperate attempt to impress a supervisor and say "hey look at me! I'm trying too hard!".
And no I haven't been told I could piss someone off by entering, and I a spelling error of a name is the job of the rated a soldier to correct. As for the radio thing. Also no never heard that. Dunno what is has to do with anything.

I had Field BDU's and Garrison BDU's. Wasn't required but ....

Hanging in a closet. We stood ours in the corner as they had so much starch in them.

Roger sir. Thank you for clarifying this

I got to know the steam tables on El Paso LKA. Didn't much care for troops doing our bag laundry, and drew the line at pressing. The Skipper of LPD on next float was a brown shoe as well. He would come on 1MC and announce going out for pump and dump off Somalia, and said he wanted to see lots of khaki out there.
