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.

Explain why it takes anO-9 to run the Officer Candidate Schools at West Point, Annapolis, and Colorado Springs, while the ROTC Commanders who graduate twice as many Officers range from O-6 to O-8 without the several subordinate flag staff involved.

Stop attrition reduction tactics. Don’t make it easier. Don’t be nice about it. The fact is if someone can’t do it they are a failure let them own it. If the attrition rate is too high that doesn’t mean lower the standards. The worst case scenario is they find out they are a failure when they get their brothers killed.

When I was a soldier we would be in the motor pool for no reason or the company area just hanging out for hours. Why not let people take care of personal crap or get some other training going? As an E5 I tried to implement training but low and behold I couldn't without permission from the CO down. So I trained in the motor pool on vehicles, but even that became redundant after a week.

Get rid of the archaic officer/enlisted dichotomy and promote like the Govt. GS 12, eg.

They should get rid of how they do promotions....I see it everyday where you have someone over qualified for a position but may not be good at book questions or quick fire questions but can run circles around anyone in the room when it comes to doing their actual job. I feel like we should have an opportunity to prove our job skill in a promotion like a hands on competition vs. a board answering a question ...
