I wanted to open up the holistic/theoretical envelope and see what people wanted to change.
Don't feel constrained by the survey questions, just something to get the creative juices flowing.

Have you observed that Women are different than Men. There is a God and he says Men wear Men’s Clothing and Women wear Women’s Clothing and it is an abomination to see clothing switched. MSG Dallas Wills

The Arm doesn't need any fixing is at 4% right now. Find that 4% and make civilians out of them.

C'mon y'all...pt belts in hostile zones! Hello! That is the most stupidest thing I ever saw!
Or saluting in war zones! Just because it feeds some O's ego, I'd rather not be shot for it. There is a gym at Fort Bragg North Carolina dedicated specifically to two individuals doing that exact thing in a combat zone.

Fight careerism. Increase "matching funds" in retirement accounts and get rid of the pension all together. Then end up or out. Have retention boards along side promotion boards. Let people leave and come back as needed. Soldiers at all levels are consumed by concern for their promotions, retention, their retirement. And it's just accepted as a part of army life, even encouraged. Just stop it. They need to be focused on the mission and their soldiers.

Clearly the single thing that will fix all the Army's ills is to change to a new uniform. Bring back the pink and greens and all will be well again. When you look good you feel good; and when you feel good you fight good. ;)

Quit having civilians due Army jobs and have REAL consequences for those who fail to do their job. I am speaking specifically about RPAC/UA. Blatantly do something (or not do something) to cause financial hardship to a soldier.... You get to bear that expense instead of the soldier.

Bring back the higher SPC ranks. Not everyone is cut out to lead soldiers, however that doesn't mean that their career should be limited.

It'd be nice if the entire battalion, battery, mass punishment was taken out. Like why should I suffer if SPC dumbdick over here loses something and then I have to stay overnight because he can't remember where he put it, so we're put on lock down

Quit letting them be little babies with a stress card. Fighting a war you can not hand the enemy a stress card. If they can’t handle the stress then they don’t need to be in. Train the staff to be able to see issues to help correct them or councel them. I went I. In the mid 80s and that was good strong stressful trying to see if you could handle yourself.

Get rid of the BS online training that nobody learns from. Get rid of this "new and improved" NCOES system. Get rid of the softer and gentler BS. Get rid of COIN and let us do what needs to be done.....

I was AIR FORCE, the Army for some was a breeze. For others protocol in a war zone,was unnecessary. Seen privates get mad when they had to salute after time in the field.

How about retiring the old Army rule of “if it ain’t broke, fix it till it is.”
