The Army

This is what is wrong with the Army now days.  I enlisted in 1989 and was active until 1992.  Went back in, in '05 and was at Ft. Knox until '09.  Big, Big difference in Soldiers attitude and discipline.  No, I'm not bitching about these guys doing yoga.

I'm bitching about their uniforms.  Some have shorts, some have pants.  Some have head gear, others do not.  Some have PT Belts, others not so much.  Long sleeves/short sleeves.  PT Belts around the waist, PT Belts diagonally across the chest.  Absolutely no uniformity.

But this is just a symptom.  When I first got to Knox in '05, I told myself, "this ain't no military post".  I mean on post housing was trashed.  Children's toys all over the yards, trash cans on the street three days after pick up.  Grass not being cut, I mean a Freakin Post full of Privates and open parade fields and park areas not being cut.

People, I love the Army, always have, always will.  I'll always be a Soldier but we gotta get back to discipline.  Back to the basics.
