I had a Soldier reply to my last post of Junior enlisted not participating and he mande a valid point. Most on here are senior and we do not discuss many of the things they are interested in. Here is what he said when I asked what topics Junior Enlisted would like to see.

thanks for asking! SSD1, How to prepare for your first deployment, How to build better relationships with your leadership, How to understand your ERB (some doesn't even know where to find it), Soldier of the month, quarter boards, TSP how to set it and selections, How to apply for TA and when you are eligible. SFC there's a world of topics for the Junior Enlisted that are not spoken here often because most of the active users here have already passed that phase.

I believe part of RP is mentoring young Soldiers so post your comments on some of these topics and what you do.

I would rather see this person start these discussions. Trust me when I say that we will be more than happy to jump on in. I can say pretty confidently that this what most of us are here for.

I don't think that anybody would have any issue answering any questions that are asked, but if the questions aren't being asked then nobody can answer them

SSG Nick Tramontano To me this is degrading to the Specialist rank and a good example of why they do not participate on RP.

You have to have a sense of humor. I've been a SP-4 as have many others. I've seen many that were hi-speed and became really good NCOs. Most soldiers agree that SPC is the best rank when you're young. You don't get picked for the 'Hey you details' like a private and you don't have the headaches/responsibilities of an NCO
