What is the most prominent issue in today’s Army culture and how would you fix it?
Personally I believe that the lack of respect of the uniform
and disregard for the standards is one of the biggest issues. In my opinion I
think the NCO Corps as a whole needs to do better at enforcing the standards.
Our upcoming leaders are learning from us and without the right example they
will learn the wrong things.
The uniform is wash and wear you can't really make it look good so everyone runs around looking like they just jumped on a wrinkle bomb. No boots to shine I just had to teach a soldier how to spit shine his jump boots yesterday Scary Scary day's ahead.
We should go back to starched and pressed BDU's and spit shined boot's If you look good in uniform you'll feel good. That will build confidence. as your confidence grows so does your pride and so on and so on then before you know it your not only meeting the standard you are raising it.
I agree but it just does not look very professional and the average private will follow that rule too the letter because it means less work for him.
