Stop the social experiments! Stop all the exceptions due to religion/feelings/etc.
Enact on-post carry for all US Military. Make military posts "Shall Issue" so that everyone is allowed to carry (with the proper training) unless their service records say otherwise.

I would like to see less oversight by soooooo many politicians. I get there needs to be oversight, but man there seems to be a buttload of politicians that have never served in the military but sure as hell dip their fingers in the pie and tell the cooks how to run their kitchen.

Agreed, there is definitely an issue of too many chiefs and not enough Indians going on.

It's a civilian led military. Has been for awhile. Has been for a reason. Hopefully, the civilians he appoints do great things for us.

LTC (Join to see) - Back in the day when it was paper work, I did not have to do it. A soldier that had the admin mos did it. Know we have young soldiers missing out on travel pay because nobody wants to help them figure out all the codes or their JAVA is not up to date or they have no clue on how to do it because they never received training.

It ain't that hard, but I live to make it happen. I always say the difficult is easy the impossible just takes more time. I always oversee DTS, everyone gets paid in one dayGySgt Bill Smith -

LTC (Join to see) - I don't think qualifying with M-4 or 9MM is hard either but we have soldiers that need a lot of extra couching to pass. I guess we all can't be masters of everything in the military.

True, those are the fun ones to train on the range. We as leaders are here to train and solve problems, not whine. I agree DTS sucks, but it will soon be replaced by the SAP module in IPPS-AGySgt Bill Smith -
