Me Grunt
Me Strong. Maybe this is to help recruit the kids who graduated high school but can’t quite grasp the ability to read so much…since the Army is doubling it’s allocated amount of below average test scorers. So, it’s only going to 4%. I agree that it’s not a test score that says how well you can soldier, but man, nowadays with being scattered to the four winds, the Army needs people that are more intelligent, not less.
I really can’t wait for the next 6.5 years to pass so I can retire. The Army has taken a nose dive like it did post Vietnam, and I’m frankly tired of it. Promotions are based on the ass-to-hickey ratio instead of merit and potential it seems, with puppies being promoted so fast that they’re barely able to keep up with the demands of two ranks ago, much less leading a squad.
I know I’m talking more on the REMF side of the house. I’m sure the Infantry, Arty and tank worlds are keeping the standards, since it’s more or less their real life asses on the line, and not just an award for half ass doing your job.
All Your Base are Belong to Us! Army Strong!
Next, we’ll have a black circle with a gold outline, since it’s too hard to make a Converse Star.
