Another way to make your transition hard is to refer to women as "hot chicks" and other potentially degrading terms...which is what the company that authored this article appears to do. Or is that somehow not a reasonable thing to point out here?

CPT Aaron Kletzing. They are sophomoric - perhaps this is their target demographic.

In this day and age it is very inappropriate. Women should be respected in every situation. It is not okay to be a pig regardless of the times.

I am almost totally speechless. After all the politically correct discussions on this site the most popular comment on this story is...wait for it...a politically correct comment. I didn't write the article nor do I manage the website, just thought I would share it to maybe help someone out.
I definitely stand for "hot females". I love women and I call them women or females and sometimes girls. Sometimes I say African American and sometimes I say Black, sometimes I say Caucasian but most of the time I say White. Usually I address everyone as Soldier/rank/ma'am/sir.
I bet some of the discussions on here really bother Muslim Soldiers and I know for a fact that a lot of discussions on here bother religious Soldiers. There is no doubt in my military mind that the female Ranger School threads infuriate almost everyone. Everyone has their own beliefs and ethics, you cannot make everyone happy.
I would invite everyone to read some of the other articles on the site. Yeah some of them are childish, some of them are geared toward young males but, the majority of them are "no shit" real life accounts of veterans just like you and me.
I would say that if everyone got a little thicker skinned and didn't take everything so literal the world would be a better place but, what do I know. I do know that I really enjoyed this site and thought it was a great opportunity to share some experience and knowledge with younger NCOs, maybe learn a couple things from some experienced vets and maybe have some fun. Well, I was definitely wrong about that.
Should definitely clean up this site before bashing a veteran owned and operated business/website that has done more for active duty members and veterans than this site will ever do.
Below is another link to a group of articles on the website to show just how bad these people are...

Do you know what happened to the winner of that Rangerup "girl" contest? Alex Zerega was the winner, she attended a professional MMA match as an official Rangerup ring girl. After that in 2010 she took first place in the 2010 California State Body Building, Figure & Bikini Championship. She signed a one year contract with Weider productions and FLEX magazine. She has appeared on the CBS show Two and a Half Men and HBO's Entourage.
Childish and sophomoric, I know.

Gotta admit "“Hooah” was never ok so knock that shit off." made me choke on my coffee...
Having been a reservist my entire career, I kind of have feet in both worlds and have often felt like an outside observer. the 3 biggest things I see over and over are:
1. a belief that I should be able to "continue on based on where I was..." This plays out as an LTC/COL believing that they "should" come into an organization as C-level executive, because "Army." The reality is that while you may not have to start "over", you will likely have to significantly re-calibrate your expectations of what you "deserve" until you have a civilian track record.
2. a belief that you have no marketable skills. When I was a hiring manager, and when I am again, I would go out of my way to recruit reservists and former military. The sheer variety of jobs done and responsibilities given to even the most junior people breeds a "can do" spirit that will usually overcome initial cluelessness in whatever the job is. As a rule, vets are much more adaptable.
3. Chain of command means different things. You will likely have a boss in a civilian job and they will have a boss. Work will come. But ALL the other stuff that the chain of command did, both "bad" (details, CQ, inspections) and "good" (will/finances updates, making sure insurance is current, enforcing leave management, etc.) is simply not there. The military is VERY paternalistic when compared to the civilian world. You don't realize how much when you are in, but it is hugely different.

PV2 (Join to see) You do know that the definition of stress is: To choke the living $#!+ out of the @$$**** who desperately deserves it...
Although as clergy, I do need to preach restraint, meditation and relaxation techniques. That will help your blood pressure too (although killing a heavy bag for an hour will do wonders too...)
