Top Fort Hood general asks for information after anonymous officers allege misconduct on base

While it would be great have these NCO's actually call in, common sense and past exsperience says that unless they are all on their way out, retiring or don't care about ever being promoted again that they won't take the bait. For a command let along an actual base to descend into that level of toxicity this was no secret to real leadership. A brief look at their retention numbers can confirm the cancer and I will throw Bliss into that mess as well.

SSG Robert Mark Odom I Don't Know Much about Ft Hood but from Everything I've Read. Talk about a a ClusterF**k! Sounds Like Long Past time for a Reckoning. A "Come to Jesus Moment". Sounds Like the Lunatics are Running the Asylum.

I was with 2-12 CAV from 2008-'11 and 1-9 CAV from 2014-2020, when I was placed on TDRL and medically retired. Higher echelons didn't care or want to listen to what was required to properly maintain tanks. Services which required three weeks were given only one. Parts for the tanks were not a priority. "Controlled substitution" which is just a way to dress up cannibalizing a NMC tank for spare parts, became a shady way of doing business. The biggest issue for me as a senior NCO was the bureaucracy of III Corps, which was just down the road from us, infiltrating its way down to the battalion level. Long before I got to Fort Hood, I heard senior NCOs at the highest levels talk about how the officer corps was trying to wrest power from NCOs. One way this was done was the unofficial dissolution of Sergeants Time, which for me ended when I left Fort Stewart in 2008. 3ID was the best outfit I served with, but according to buddies of mine who went there over the years, that unit has also been hit with some of the same issues.
