Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kilroytheknifesnob: If it was my call, I’d increase standards and pay, shrinking the Army even more. Why do we need a massive Army again? It’s not supposed to be a jobs program. If general officers want pay closer to civilians, then they’ll have to produce results or be fired. Not sure much of the current crop would stick around to enjoy the higher paychecks. When we get to a shooting war and the casualties start adding up, a bigger military is going to become a necessity |

You know... Nidal Hasan is still a breathing man nearly 15 years after all his murders.
His victims have long been finished up by the worms and he's still living - one of the most obvious guilty mother fuckers in history. Yet they call it workplace violence and let that puke stain have rights in prison while he continues to breathe. Fuck the cocksuckers. There's no justice left in this world and I hope the young people see this (and all the other DEI BS) and tell the recruiters to fuck off. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MJ11B4P: Here’s an ironic observation: My son enlisted USAF. HS grad +college credits, physically fit, no moral waivers (did need a routine medical waiver), top ASVAB scores. Perfect candidate. When we went to recruiters, the level of “give-a-fuck” and motivation by the recruiters was laughable. Bankers hours. Very little effort to sell or gain and maintain interest of a potential recruit. I was floored. I would have thought the branches were over strength. Compared to when I enlisted in mid 90’s during the drawdown, my recruiter seemingly worked 24/7 we had weekly DEP meetings and recruits had to attend PT at least once per month. This was literally my experience with my son. I was shocked at the Apathy from recruiters. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sharkman6: The DoD has to change a lot of things if it wants to get what it wants. I know this won’t be popular, but the Flag Officer pay cap needs to go away. When you compare what generals/admirals get paid, and what they are expected to do… the delta is significant. You’re not going to get the best and the brightest to stick around and lead the force when a flag officer makes about as much as a the General Manager of a Buckies. Well, the amount of pay to a senator or the president for that matter doesn't seem to keep them from attracting the best and the brightest, oh wait LOL |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By colklink: Lol. Lol Yes. That's what's wrong with the US Army. Generals aren't being paid enough. I didn’t watch the video. I assumed it was primarily the enlisted ranks that made up the bulk of the shortages. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fdawg: This was literally my experience with my son. I was shocked at the Apathy from recruiters. Was he a honkey who went by him? If so, the he didn't fit all the check boxes that the Army wants for recurits. Get out of town with that clean record, and high ASVAB scores! We want a guy with a 75 GT score we have to do a felony wavier for, if he's not white. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fdawg: I don’t think that’s what is being discussed. Better pay retains better leaders. I bet that “Southern” kid cares about how he or she is treated in the service and if leadership cares about there well-being and career. Pro tip - leadership never cares about the well being and careers of enlisted soldiers. The worst are the CSM's, for whom that's their alleged job, but in reality are uniform inspectors. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By yankee43: LoL! U.S. military can fuck off. The ranks are filled with treasonous people who would rather shoot traditional patriotic Americans, than enemy soldiers. The rot started with GWOT veterans.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By colklink: Lol. Lol Yes. That's what's wrong with the US Army. Generals aren't being paid enough. I mean. Like he said. You're not going to attract the best and brightest without commensurate compensation. Quality people will go to be executives at tech companies and shit. |
