I was in the infantry while in the Florida army national guard, put in a conditional release to active duty, and let's say I was a forced reclass, and now I'm a 88m, im with this unit in ft stewart
They are low speed, low drag a complete shit show and motivation killing, non career progression unit... I feel like I'm a dieing breed and I'm trying to stay gun ho and high speed but
The more I do me....the more I'm rejected... how to escape this shit. We go to Poland in may and I cant pcs till 2021 ...need some advice

I remember once in AIT when I told the DS of the next company over that I wanted to do PT with them because ours was weak.
That turned out well lol

You mean they are a high-drag unit. High-speed and low-drag mean good; low-speed and high-drag mean bad.
You should lead by example and try to improve the attitudes and performance of those around you, rather than looking to flee the unit. I've seen unit flip in an instant (from good to bad and from bad to good) due to people in formal and informal leadership positions.

I didn't just resort to fling the unit all those things that you pointed out that I should do is exactly what I have been doing but the sooner it is like a cancer it completely rejects everything So let's not assume sir that I immediately resorted to trying to flee the unit I've given this unit the clothes off my back and everything and I am still rejected

SSG (Join to see) - Focus on what I actually wrote, and not what you think I wrote (or wanted me to have written). I did not specify or imply "immediately".
Keep being a good soldier, and position yourself for the next assignment (near term, if you can work out something, or longer term if you can't). Look for options to move on to bigger/better jobs with greater authority and responsibility, but try not to come across to your leadership as looking for an escape. That won't serve you well in that organization.
I started out as an officer at Fort Stewart. I've certainly felt your pain. The worst unit I've ever experienced, as an officer or enlisted, was at Fort Stewart.
