You have been given the authority to change three things in your branch or DoD wide … What are they?

1) One uniform to rule them all by STOPPING the constant every other year multi million dollar uniform research to find a better style of duty uniform and picking ONE pattern for all the branches to use. The caveat to this would be 3 styles: Woodland, Desert, and Snow......but only as needed depending on when/where they deploy to. Seriously, does the Navy really need to wear a blue patterned uniform while at sea on a HUGE gray ship? Oh, and that velcro (or hook and loop if you prefer) is gone the way of the Dodo bird.
2) A 2 prong plan on winning wars. Find and properly identify the enemy. Kill the enemy.
3) Fix the monetary distribution by a few methods (as a start). A) Revamp government contracts: Example, a Tank Company needs to order 3 new engines, let them order those 3 engines instead of having to order 100 engines in one mass hit. B) Most (if not all) deployment government contracts are hereby null and void. Example: Why would the government agree to pay a civilian mechanic 150K a year when the powers that be deploy units WITH endemic mechanics.

1) go to one style of combat boots across all the military branch.
2) Civil service managers , Rotate them around the conus some have been sitting in there office for years if not decades and not coming up with no new ideas on how to improve the work environment at there facility
3)Standardized the military uniform for all military branches and keep it

#1; ... get females out of Combat Units.

#2; ... punish all Deserters & Traitors.

#3 ... do away with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

For all of the above, I want to know who/what is guarding my back !!!!!!!

1. Stop social engineering. Standards for combat arms should reflect the reality needed for combat.

2. Set a standard for concealed carry and allow soldiers who meet the standard to carry concealed on post.

3. Reduce the tail and associated costs. The job is combat.

1. ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES (Including Contractors) Must have served a minimum of 3 years in the Military. VA Employees must serve 5 Years. Congress must serve 5 years.
2. Stop letting the Civilian World force the Military World to change policy. They once looked at us on Race, Gender and equality issues but now we look at them?
3. A High PT Score (But can't spell BINGO with the damn song playing in the background) does not equate to promotion! Stop this crap NOW!

weight and tape.

1.) Make the fitness test the same across the DOD. Adopt the fact that as one unified fighting force we should all be held to the same standard.
2.) revist the Height Weight standards before having people be taped. A younger SM who is lets say 5'8" is only allowed to weight 166 if they are 21-29 before being taped, however if they are someone who works out alot they run the risk of busting tape as opposed to an older SM who gets a higher fat percentage and it causes unhealthy habits around height weight time.
3.) DOD wide re-visit the facial grooming standards and elminate the need for shaving profiles. have a set length facial hair can be while demanding it be kept neat and clean. its a new era where beards are more common, and lets be honest with ourselves we all hate having to shave especially in the field or down range.
