1. Ensure military pay keeps pace with inflation.
2. Provide graduate school - fully funded - options for select senior NCOs, just like we do for Os.
3. Ensure we get to real readiness vs. paper readiness.
4. Get back to basics... TLPs, counseling, training management, PT, maintenance, logistics....
5. Focus on standards.

That is a very open question.... My last several years I saw a lack of discipline. Too many young Marines walking over NCO's and nothing was done about it. Paper only goes so far. More admin discharges with an OTH attached with NO VA benefits. Bring back the motivation platoons again.
Also stop trying to make the military an equal opportunity job force. The military is not a "job" Set realistic standards and hold to those standards. We are men and women trained to fight and kill.
Also bring back leggings for the cammie uniform. They looked cool.

That is a very open-ended question PO3 Aaron Hassay.
From a medical standpoint I would improve the medical data/information sharing among the VA regions and the Military Healthcare regions.
FYI yesterday I had an appointment with my primary care VA doctor at Fort Detrick, MD. Today I had an appointment at the TRICARE clinic in Fairfax, Virginia. This was my initial TRICARE appointment. The doctor had no access to the VA system and didn't seem to have access to my military medical records [1974 - 2008]
A decade ago when I was being treated at Walter Reed AMC I learned they had no access to my Fort Benning records or anywhere else outside the national capital region.
