Do you think that younger troops should be taught in high school, life skills.

And this is not just a current problem, it happened when I was 18 and in the service. I believe it would have been a service in school that really mattered and is relevant to the future. What are your thoughts and experiences.

Absolutely... The primary mission of NCO's over the last decade seems to have shifted from "Mission accomplishment" to "fixing 18 years of poor to nonexistant parenting".

For High School: Not just troops, but the population in general as well: What is a budget, and how to live on one. How banking and borrowing money works. Responsibilities to a future spouse and children. Being responsible in your job and your life.

I totally agree with you. Today it seems that if it has nothing to do with a video game they have no clue!!

Life skills should be taught at home by parents. Too many parents use the excuse that "we both work" or "we're divorced" or any number of other excuses to validate their lack of good parenting. Would it be beneficial? I suppose it would and it would definitely help ensure that Leaders don't have to. But, I still maintain that it is our job as parents.
