I do not agree with the people that think it is that the buck SGT is going through a steep learning curve. Most buck SGTs have had a position as a team leader or squad leader berfore being promoted.
I have a different theory. I believe it is a way to break away from being a part of the sham shield club. Once being a buddy with all, and suddenly you have to find people to do details for you, not just hiding from them. It is truly another side in many ways. You still have all your friends that are Spec4's and now you are the one that has to be the bearer of bad news... "Hey guys, we have to empty that connex again!"

Learning leadership is why. It's frustrating trying to get people to do things but don't have the experience to properly motivate them to get it done. That's why they are always yelling. As for lazy, there should be no such thing. If I have a lazy SGT he will be meeting me with a pt belt and a 2 qt. There's no room for a lazy team leader.

MSG (Join to see) I understand where your coming from. I'm the Squad Leader with a PFC Team Leader and a SGT for a Section Sargent so I guess I just see it as Humor cause I watch the new SGTs in other sections of my platoon lost trying to be all big and bad and being to proud to ask a SPC or a PFC for help on how to do their new position.

I went to Ft. hood ONCE for AT. That was MORE than enough! *Shiver* And I was still learning how to be a Sergeant when my enlistment ended. I had some excellent NCO-role-models though. And a few examples of how NOT to do it.

SGT Sean Wike - Happens to a lot of MAJs, LTCs, and COLs as well! It's not about the rank, I don't think, I think it's about adjusting to a new level of responsibility and the expectations that come with it.
