I am being told to go to PT by the command on only 4-5 hours of sleep. As a junior enlisted, how do I solve this problem?

Your ARE whining, You're in the damned Army. Suck it up, or get out and find a life where you can be coddled.

I do not see a problem just a failure to realize that you enlisted in a volunteer military. You can decide to avoid re-enlisting on your next reenlistment but then you will stop getting benefits.

Always follow orders then go to your commander or first shirt . That's why they have the rank to take care of their troops .

SFC Mike is spot on, son. What did you think you wer joining when you signed up. Didn't hear that complaint during my 34 years. Grousing about it, sure; asking for advice to try to get someone out of it, nope.

It's called embrace the suck, this guy lmao

Are you really posting this? You’re doing exactly what you don’t want to sound like . 4 or 5 hours of sleep?! Sometimes we went to PT without 4or 5 minutes of sleep and deployments? Huh, don’t get me started. I know that sleep deprivation used to be taught in the Army. All I can say is soft and that’s putting it mildly.

I don't get it. Go to PT formation, what's the problem? You get off at 0000. Go home, get some sleep, show up to PT formation and then go back home and get some more rest. What's the problem?

I could type a long response about my time in the military but who cares, right? You will always have to do things you don't like or want to do.

Now from a leader/mentor POV.
* What does the rest/work plan look like?

* How is accountability conducted with medics in the hospital vs medics in the organization?

* You don't work alone, you work with a section at the hospital, what is everyone else doing?

* Why hasn't your PSG implemented a PT program that allows you to go home and rest for 8 hours and then your platoon do PT before going back on shift at 1600?

I was under the belief that those who worked at the hospital fell under two commands, the hospital commander who oversaw the operations of the hospital and those assigned the hospital and then the assigned command who they report to for accountability and roll call.

I had to read this twice to make sure I read it correctly.

I'm sure you're a great kid but no one is coming to save you. You have to be your own hero. Your time in the military will define who you are. It will either make you better and stronger or it will break you and reveal who you have always been.

There are 24 hours in a day and there will always be 24 hours in a day. You work a shift from 1600 -0000. What are you doing with the rest of your time? I might be a little crazier than most, but it still looks like an 8-hour shift to me. What are you doing with the other 16 hours aside from looking for an excuse to not be accounted for at the 1st Formation of the day and conducting physical fitness training to fortify your health?

Your 1SG should have never needed to tell everyone to show up. Your 1st line leader should have been chasing you down to make sure you were doing PT every morning with everyone else to begin with. You can be mad at your 1SG, but I say the failure to be at PT started with you and went all the way to the 1SGs door until he squashed it and demanded accountability.

You're whining. Get your butt to pt

You could provide a regulation that fits your complaint with your concern of safety to patients if any. Go through het chain of command first. If that does not work you could go to hospital chaplain or IG just for them to know as in "FYIi" for your information in confidentiality and not make any complaint but to let them know. It may not change it but it would be something you tried in case a problems occurred due to lack of rest. I remember this same complaint with the soldiers in Hospital was brought up. There may not be much of a a choice than to suck it up. Possibly get rest at the hospital during any down times if any with the team at hand. I never worked those hours so I would not know.
