Introduction

Post by DoughBoy11C »

Hello,

Thanks for adding me to the forum, I am currently active duty deployed to Afghanistan, half way through my first tour. I am an 11Chuck, E-5, with a Bravo 1 ASI. I joined the army in Jan '07 I am 24 and come from a family of Infantry NCO's. I found this site because I found myself lost over here. As I look around the moral fiber of the average soldier is below par, the army lowering standards to raise the average, and leaders putting themselves before the mission and their men :evil:. NCO's that do not believe in first in last out :evil: . At least in my unit, that anyone who watches the news has heard about. Please spare me the laughs, I'm well aware I am an infantryman stuck in a Recce world lol. I have bared the burden for almost 3 years. I am coming up on reenlistment soon, and am looking into furthering my career and putting myself where I feel I belong. This site has been a great help, I have some questions ill post else ware thank you for the time!

He called my name and my heart stood still

Good to see you orienting your frustrations towards a higher standard, vs. saying 'fuck it' and heading towards the door. We need more high speed E-5s to stay in. Welcome.
