[@simontruong4083]

Send these kids to Ft. Leonardwood for some real shaping of true soldiers with A Company 1-48th, forget about a petty 6 week field training “summer camp”, can’t even stay in step, no discipline drill sergeant, think they need more corrective training drill sergeant lol. We rucked 12 miles every other week, ran 4 miles every other day and muscle failure those other days. We spent hours marching in formation down to a science and only senior knows how dedicated and willing we were to train how we fight. We slept little, went on night missions and raids that focused on realism and tactics or else we did it all again. Going through Basic Training and AIT really shaped those of us that went straight to ROTC afterwards to value our military bearing, strength, fitness and training.

[@KGKraetzerMedia]

Simon, thank you for your service.

Six weeks? These young men and women will be exposed to four years of training that will teach them to obey orders and later to issue orders. *s/ Retired 24 Year US Navy Submariner - USNA Class of 1965 - Former Enlisted Man*

[@simontruong4083]

Salti Dawg Thank you for your service sir first off. However, I went through basic training and AIT for 17 weeks with the hardest and most squared away companies that when I arrived to my ROTC, everyone from the cadets to the LTC said I was the most squared away person. To have experienced all I went through to then go 4 years to become an officer really puts me in the shoes of the enlisted men I will later command and gives me the military bearing and discipline that many of my peers lack or will never receive.

Adolfo Enrique Pussies?

[@avatarcayo5293]

@Adolfo Enrique Many of them worked for Obama too, the military isn't the one doing the politics, it is an arm of the government and the strongest diplomacy arm of the government, if needed it can end entire countries, and if it was required of them they would do it because theirs is not to reason why just to do it. West Point is the finest school in the US and while yes it taught some useless officers and some controversial ones, the majority of the ones we remember are the ones who did their duty to the country and not to any one man

[@avatarcayo5293]

@Adolfo Enrique Why thank you, and once Schwarzkopf said how duty and love of country will make the cadets the greatest leaders of the century, so remember the Army isn't all about Trump it is just Trump wants it to look that way because many Americans look up to it.

[@eogg25]

There is height limit. But for your information, the most decorated officer in the US Army was just 5ft 5. Prussian Army in the other hand had an all-6ft-tall Regiment which was useless.

[@saltymonke3682]

@@sonofthesun5449 now the rifles are shorter, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? see your logic here? Frederick The Great disbanded that regiment because it had no use or significant tactical advantage on the battlefield. Short people can't fight well? Tell that to VC and NVA, or South Korean who fight them too (They feared the Koreans than the Americans actually). Short doesn't equal to weakness or incompetence in the operational environment. If being tall means a guaranteed operational competency, all SFOD-D members will be 6ft tall. But in reality they have all kinds of people and shapes. Same in the Navy SEAL, a munchkin boat (a squad filled with people in the shortest height percentile of the whole Buds class) during Buds can perform better than any other squads that are taller than them. Or in the Green Beret, Look at Roy Benavides or the story of Richard Flaherty (aka the Giant Killer). He's only 4ft 9 inch, and yes, He's a Green Beret Captain back then in Vietnam. www.military.com/undertheradar/2018/02/22/vietnam-vet-richard-flaherty-was-giant-killer.html
