What is the purpose of the "no profanity" policy in WLC?

"By forcing females into Infantry, Rangers, Special Forces ........" Excuse me, she said with as much composure as possible - sir I feel you are rated for a cuss put down - but I'll try to be a lady about it and say, "You stink."

Facts hurt sometimes, SSG.
I have no problems with females doing anything they are capable of doing as long as the standards are met and not changed to allow for those who are not capable. If being an artilleryman requires the loader to hump 100 lb shells for 30 minutes straight is the standard, then in order to allow a female into the MOS the standard is changed to 50lb rounds, obviously the standard has been changed for the purpose of putting her there.
I think your attitude is misplaced about females and their capabilities, especially in combat arms, special forces.
As Clint Eastwood once said, Ya gotta know your limitations.

sorry, but the army's mission is changing. the army is being used for policing and for COIN operations. that means taking out the enemy to the local chai shop.

I don't have a problem with the idea there's a time and place for everything. Out in the Field is one thing, bringing the Field into a mixed gender professional setting is another. I do have a problem with those who can't tell the difference and conduct themselves accordingly. So does UCMJ.

when i was younger and in the field i had a "potty mouth" according to my mom. But, as i got older and wiser i learned other words that could equal the same thing but not be offensive.

Apologies, perhaps some of you did not or cannot see the frame of reference in my vignette nor the overarching theme in my message due to a tunnel vision on "professional language" discourse. Perhaps I should clarify... I have a foul mouth. That is to say, I have a disproportionate use of verbiage that my Grandmother would have been forced to take unbridled umbrage over should I speak that way at the Family Sunday dinner table, and in that environment that punctuative language would have been unnecessary and counter productive. That said, my grandmother would NEVER have been stupid enough to TEACH someone to emplace a Claymore mine with the words FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY facing towards themselves. And should she have made such an error she would not have hidden her NEGLIGENCE behind the bullshit of a diatribe on how language is more important than ACTIONS. I may not speak "professionally" at all times but I damn sure carry my responsibility for teaching, training, molding, and mentoring those soldiers around me to the standards that will keep them alive and accomplish missions like millstone around my neck. And I will not now nor ever apologize for asking an NCO or Officer what the FUCK they are doing training soldiers like that. I stand by my product and that is competent trained soldiers of any rank and any MOS that I have worked with or for, I have been a trainer for 20 years and I stand by the philosophy of its not the language its the message and the RESULTS. Besides, I overhead a SSG say recently, " oh hell, Top is pissed. You can tell 'cuz he's all quiet and shit." Great news for me, she gets it and I now have a subordinate who is going to correct the deficiency without me uttering a word offensively peppered with profanity or not.

1LT James Clarke - 1LT For The Record: I was neither inner city ( more Country club and prep school) nor country boy ( Ft Hood broke me of that however, due to the unavoidable excess of Country Music for which I have acquired a taste for) , and I did drop out of college to join the Infantry. Best decision ever!

Patton cussed because he had a high pitched voice and he was compensating for it.

Patten had a squeaky voice and if he didn't cuss no one would have taken him seriously.

Sergeant, I assure you that just because it rolled off you, doesn't mean that you are in the majority. My feelings are not hurt by your tasteless comment, my feelings are incensed by them. Before being commissioned, I too held the rank of Sergeant First Class (PSG) as an 11-B. I never resorted to "cussing" someone out when remiss in performing their job or in small talk. Of course I am Old School, and was a Non-Commissioned Officer before you were old enough to worry about acne. The Leadership Courses beginning in 1971 did not include any reference to," it's okay to use vulgar language" but emphasis was on "It is not okay to use profane and vulgar language".

CPT William Ainley - Sir, I am not saying everyone should go around and cuss people out. But the problem is now a days people are looking to jack up someone's career. No one is out to take a butt chewing when they are wrong and have thick skin and fix themselves. Problems like this was not talked about in the 90's. And it's my opinion. You can tell me you have been in before I was old enough to have acne. Haha good one. I guess your proud of that. But they asked for our opinion so I gave it. Your reply to mine is the exact same thing I was talking about. If you don't like it then ignore it. The military would be a better place. You can give me a tumbs down on this one as well if it makes you feel better. Take care and Happy Halloween!

Tsk, tsk, Sergeant, regarding your response to my comment about acne, it does make me feel good! When I enlisted into the United States Army, our Great Nation was being torn apart by my peer group,a generation of cry babies called "Baby Boomers" resorting to both emotional, and in many cases physical violence while expressing their reluctance to be involved in the war being waged in Southeast Asia by our Government. This anger, and disrespect was also directed toward men and women in uniform on an every day occurrence from those that remained silent, but "glared" to verbal assault, to actual physical assault!
I don't get your drift regarding " Someone looking to jack up someone's career". By now, you, as a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer should have the perception to know your boundaries when in the presence of Officers, and other Non-Commissioned Officers in a facility, or when out in the field.
In regard to your assertion that " But they asked for our opinion so I gave it" Then you should have implied, "I said what I meant, and I meant what I said" Instead you concluded by stating "Anyone have that Hurt Feelings Report".
In regards to your comment "People are weak, period!" What?
I did enjoy Halloween, and made sure all the "Little Ones" got plenty of candy, I hope your Halloween was a pleasant one too. Thank you for your service to our Great Nation, and be sure to take full advantage of all the "freebies" being offered by restaurants on Veterans Day, I know I will, we have earned it!
