If a soldier isn't competent enough to set up their own ASU, why keep them in the service?

Somebody tell me something, I know this isn't as important as some of the discussions we have but I think it has to be addressed. If a soldier isn't competent enough to set up their own ASU (minus the look over by their leadership to check for minor adjustments), why are they in the service if they can't complete such a task?
Something so simple especially with all the technology, the infamous AR 670-1, and almost EVERYTHING being available provided by Google. I understand we're suppose to be there for our battle buddies and our soldiers, but DAMN! These soldiers act like they never learned how to set up their uniforms in basic training. Give me your input and opinion on this matter because I kind of find it pathetic.

SGT Robinson,
I know it can be frustrating at times. Keep in mind part of being an NCO is showing Soldiers what right looks like. Sometimes that means continually looking of their uniform for corrections. I had three NCOs (SFC and above) in my office look over my uniform before getting my DA Photo for this years board and there was still something wrong on it when I got to the photo lab. Luckily I noticed it before I had my photo taken. Point is, NOBODY is perfect and there you should always get a second or maybe a third set of eyes on anything you are doing professionally.

What's so hard about down loading an app for AR670-1? That don't even have to crack the PDF open.

The country is full of people with one tour and I am very grateful for their service!

Humm… lets see. Most soldiers don't know how to set up their ASUs because they hardly ever wear them. As an NCO it is your job to make sure your soldiers are competent in all tasks they are required to be proficient in. Don't take the "they should already know that, so I won't teach them" cop out. Show your deficient Soldiers how to set up their ASUs and have them report to you in ASUs daily until they get it right.
