I actually had a minor altercation. At the end of the day I didn't back down. Most of the time the active duty drills are glad that we are there. I jump right in and start training. Your always going to have that one who doesn't like that your there, for whatever reason. I just break it down for them. I went to the same school you did. I met the same standard. I'm just as good as you are if not better. I don't have to put up with the BS you have to.

More importantly, let's be honest, we judge others based on their peers. If one Reservist shows up overweight and unable to keep pace with Charlie group running, full on smokes a private in front of the DFAC, and shows Privates pictures on their cell phone...it sets the tone for every single other one. No matter how up to par the others are.<br /><br />From what I've seen of AT's, the Active Drills spend far too much time policing the Reservists. Taking care of the Privates is exhausting enough; but having to police your "equals", too? <br /><br />Yes, I absolutely saw a lack of respect from some Active guys. <br /><br />But it was entirely warranted in a lot of circumstances. It pissed me off, but I understood it.

I do not have a combat patch, will I catch hell from cadre and candidates for not having that experience?
