What's the WORST career advice you have gotten or heard someone else get? It happens...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

That made me create ArmyReenlistment.com...the Army never had a dedicated retention page (still doesn't...I do haha)

CSM (Join to see), that I could not be Drill Sergeant, it surprised him after I got selected and did two years on the trail at C/2-47 IN, Charlie Rock, Panther Battalion (Fort Benning, Georgia 2006-2008). It pissed him off so more, I have never heard or seen him again in almost 10 years. Always believe in yourself and not the nay-sayers who don't believe in you.

Worst advise ever received in over 12 years of srevice was "You're a f**king Soldier in the United States Army. Your job is to follow my f**king orders when I give them and not ask any f**king questions!" This was in front of twenty some odd civilians and about five SPC and below. I was a SSG at the time and so was he. The order in question. Get the colonels vehicle moved because the parking lot was getting repainted. My offending question you ask? Where would the Colonel prefer it to go, location x or location y? How dare I wonder. This is yet another reason I started my recent question and poll. I am highly skilled, can MAYBE fit two more schools on my ERB and am working on my Master's but not allowed to use common sense and now even on orders to an assignment where not one of my specialties that the Army paid a crap ton of money for is going to be utilized. Ok. Sorry. Rant over.
