I was always taught to take care of your Soldiers but I bet when I walk through the barracks tomorrow there will be tons of Soldiers sitting around. 2013-11-27T17:33:10-05:00 SGM Private RallyPoint Member 12639

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><p>I used to always find out which of my troops weren't going anyway and make them come to my house for dinner, my 1st section chief did that to us barracks rats and I learned a great deal from that man, that I still carry with me today in lessons on being a caring and respectful leader.</p><p><br></p><p>Sorry you never got any responses Top, but I guess too many people were too busy to even give a quick shout out with a happy holidays or more than two votes, thanks for the original post.</p>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In the 4yrs I was in the Army no one gave a damn as to who was in the barracks. Being invited to an NCO&#39;S home for dinner. Unheard of. Never heard of anything like it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Man I am just seeing this, and I got in 2008-2015, not only did the FRG(MWR&amp;Boss) do stuff for us, but our First SGT, Platoon SGT, or BCM always let us come over for the holidays when we could not or just did not go home...Barracks Rats is a huge issue, hell I was one for a long time...though I love my isolation at times, it&#39;s good to be in a unit who cares about their soilders
