The Army is looking for hundreds of NCOs for drill sergeant duty

High school students are beating 60 year old teachers for taking their cell phones away during class. These trophies to humanity and proper parenting then join the military. The Drill Sergeant isn't allowed to upset mommy's precious angel without being called abusive, racist, or a big meanie. The turds are calling lawyers before even notifying the CoC these days. There isn't enough Jameson Irish whiskey on the planet to get me to volunteer for that no win scenario. 25 years ago, those magnificent bastages at Fort Benning with the brown round would be inprisoned if they tried the trail these days. For all of you who served in that capacity.........

I can honestly tell you the caliber of recruit these day, is disheartening. I could be biased working only the Medical side, so maybe I see the worst.

Honestly I've even paused and looked objectively, but it's no hope. Our recruiting pool is facing the same issues national universities are - the people "coming to age" have been so coddled now that they're turning 18 and have zero coping skills. Regular day to day stressors of adult life are overloading these kids. Never mind the pressures of Basic/AIT.
The horrible thing is much like the Universities, the Army is pandering to them too.

Wow! Times have sure changed. I don't remember getting any extra pay and the assignment was only for 18 months unless they decided to ship you to Vietnam before that. The guarantee of an 18 month assignment was one of the main reasons that many applied. Overall it was a good job except for the long hours the first few weeks of each cycle.
