This decision should not be passed down to Soldiers -- Senior leaders need to "kill" the requirement. Don't set Soldiers up for leadership policy failures. If you let Soldiers set the standards, then many requirements will not be met.

This entire year and a half has been nothing but contradiction from the top. These conversations he has need to stay in his house with who or whatever he lives with and not put it out in public to undermine good order and discipline. The “annual training” theme is a complete joke and total waste of time and resources yet it continues….with some not doing it I guess…..even though..mandatory….fu$^&#

Ok, so, call me crazy, here, guys, but......

If these trainings are mandated by Army policy only (i.e. not by DoD or Congress) and he is the Army chief of Staff.... ummmmm.... why doesn't he simply kill them? I mean, he has that authority.

And if they are mandated by DoD or Congress, who the f*ck is he to tell people not to do it?

I know the Officer oath is different, but my oath required me to obey the orders of Officers appointed over me, according to regulation and UCMJ. I expect no less of CSA and SMA.

Excuse me! A division commander didn't do mandatory training? What utter BS! I'll bet his COS was hounding the units below him about their percentages. Such crap.
