that has to be a big oh crap moment when they won't watch your kid again. I am glad to see you helped those folks not get court martialed.....you would think those commanders would understand how to play the game. View Quote When I left the Army in the mid 2000s, an officer normally spent 12 months as a platoon leader and then got whisked off to fill a Captain's job on battalion staff, got promoted to Captain at 3 years, and went straight to company command from their Officer Advanced Course. So now the person is 25-26yo and has 3.5-4 years experience, with very little of it actually leading/managing troops. That's a recipe for someone who is very inexperienced and immature as a company commander, and becomes a commander who either listens too much or not at all to his senior NCO advisors. Interestingly, within the limits of my experience and speaking directly to that early-to-mid-2000s experience, I found the male commanders either were good or tended to listen too much to their NCOs, but nearly all the female commanders were know-it-alls who wouldn't listen to any advice from anyone. Oh, they'd ask for advice, then argue with you to tell you why your advice was wrong. I suspect the females were that way because they had received heaps of praise for meeting the standard and thus thought they were infallible. |

It blows my mind that there’s actually a specific uniform for pregnant women.
Are pregnant women exempted for PT requirements? In the interest of equality, shouldn’t men be able to get 9-month periods of special uniforms and reduced requirements/duties? |

Quoted:
when I entered the Army in the early 1990s, an officer normally didn't become a company commander until year 7 of service. He/she would have four years as a 2LT/1LT at the company level with at least 2 years as a platoon leader and a year as a company executive officer (2nd in command). Then he/she would pin on Captain, go to their branch's Officer Advanced Course, go to a battalion and be a staff officer for a couple of years, then take command. So you're talking about someone approaching 30yo with roughly 7 years as an officer, so he/she would be a lot more seasoned, experienced, and mature. When I left the Army in the mid 2000s, an officer normally spent 12 months as a platoon leader and then got whisked off to fill a Captain's job on battalion staff, got promoted to Captain at 3 years, and went straight to company command from their Officer Advanced Course. So now the person is 25-26yo and has 3.5-4 years experience, with very little of it actually leading/managing troops.

Gee, didn't they have a uniform that looked like that in 1945? Except that enlisted didn't have khaki trousers.
When's the last time that the Marines made a major change to their uniforms. Okay, chicks are now or soon will be dressing like men but other than that. |

I have yet to have an answer to the question "what benefit does the military get for having women in service" that doesn't include the terms "diversity" "inclusion" "opportunity" or some other term in that vein. Even women realize there is no up side to the mission of killing people and breaking things by adding chicks to the mix. View Quote |

Female soldiers getting pregnant should be punishable under UCMJ. All new Soldiers should be unmarried and childless at the time of basic training. They should not be authorized (receive be nefits)to have dependants untill the rank of E-5. That's my opinion as a retired 11B platoon SGT.

Damn, that's all fucked up. No wonder you will never answer my question regarding your ability to access your COE via online methods. I ask to see if your account might be messed up as occasionally it happens as per the school certifying official at the school I work at and if that were the case, I could have put you in contact with him to initiate a quick fix. But hey, trying to get a real answer from you is like pulling teeth and since I can't get the answers out of resistant people the way I want, guess you can suffer in silence.
