I get it. We've all had to endure some BS training or tasking after a commanding officer, NCO, or supervisor told us "it was mandatory" or it was to "complete the mission." We've all had to roll up out sleeves and do something we didn't find comfortable. I feel like this is different. With the politicization of the Covid 19 Vaccine, the treatment to those abstaining it would be borderline abuse. here we have (in my opinion) a clear case of backlash directly from refusing the vaccine, even after the mandate was lifted.

[@migultantamco]

And this is just a big one that made it to the news, sadly there’s similar occurrences of unfair leadership decisions where lower enlisted gets shafted because of rank difference that gets swept under the rug because it tends to be on a “within command” scale. We’re lucky to hear about this example because the officer made such a big deal about it to get her sent to the brig. I don’t believe joining itself is a bad thing, but with how toxic leadership tends to be (and don’t believe the “one team, one fight” within whatever branch, it’s more like a pack mentality between others, at least in my command) now isn’t a good time to join unless something changes on the upper side, which is detrimental considering Russia and China being our main threats and low recruitment/retention hurting manning.

[@migultantamco]

Reminds me of a post I read regarding the army, saying how they’ve become “out of touch” with the younger generation. I saw that and thought “nah, I think with information being more available than it was in the 90s, they’re just more aware of the bullshit you put us through”

That was my thought exactly when I hit my 4th year of service in 2001.

The next day, we were heading out to spend the next 2 weeks as the OPFOR for SFQC Robin Sage. It’s basically a 2 week camping trip So, a few of us went to Sparkey’s… this strip joint on Bragg Boulevard. Long story short, the dude driving who was a E-5 and new to the division… he got pulled over for hanging a headlight burned out They took him to the station to breathalyze him and all of that. He was sober, zero percent registered. We didn’t know that at the time, as we were taking a taxi back to the bricks. We figured he must have had some drinks and got a DUI We did exactly what we were told to do by our piece of shit 1SG and CO. We were technically still on DRB-1 until noon the next day, which was Friday. We were to do just a battalion run, then released the rest of the day to get ready for Robin Sage the next day We told the 1SG what had happened… and he… blew the fuck up, and mostly on ME, who was 23 years old at the time. The other 2 guys were 20, and the driver was 24 I was the only one out of the group who got demoted. I was busted from being a team leader E-4P to a E-3. I was so fucking PISSED… but really let down more than anything The fact that we did exactly what we were told to do if ever in a jam, and then to see it was a lie… a lie used to brainwash us just to make things easier on the 1SG so he could put the fucking to us.

[@echo7sierra-interviews]

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lance Corporal Arnett for an interview before she was incarcerated. It's quite an unfortunate that all the retaliatory actions were taken against her - she was an exemplary example of a Marine. She was my assistant soccer coach during one of numerous seasons she volunteered as a coach and mentor. Keep in mind, while volunteering as a Youth Sports Coach, individuals are often required to interact, lead and mentor children of Senior Enlisted and Commissioned Officers. The parents, of some of these children, were the ones seeking to punish LCpl Arnett. One punishment they were able to levy on her: they contacted the Youth Sports Program director and informed them that [she] was not allowed to Coach any team(s) or individuals due to legal actions. Imagine being someone so determined and invested in the youth mentorship program(s) that anywhere you went, you were immediately recognized by the children of these senior service members. Imagine them taking all of that away. I remember during our interview she choked up and broke down a little while describing this. Thanks for covering this, AC. I personally apologized to Kat for not being able to provide a strong enough platform for her story to be heard but I'm glad it's out there. Thanks to you, NickyMGTV, ShaneOfficial, TerminalCWO, and everyone at the Pipe Hitter Foundation. I sincerely hope, but highly doubt, that justice will be served. She deserves nothing less. -E7S

Whenever I’m introduced to new troops, I always tell them this: “There’s two types of leadership in the military: the ones who will stick their neck out for you, and the ones who will slit your throat the moment you stick out yours. Learn them fast and move accordingly.” Be safe out there.

[@nocapbussin]

That is very solid advice. Unfortunately, I think the ones who will stick their necks out have been hunted out of existence through the day to day bullshit until either they saying "Fuck it, I'm done" and getting out, or by getting forced out. We used to say "Shit floats to the top" and I think that military proverb is spot on. You don't really see an officer make it past O2 or O3 if he is competent and not a "Yes-man". As for enlisted, the VAST majority get burnt out before their 4 year contract is up. Guys who make it past E5 and then decide to stick around for 20 are a VERY rare breed if they are truly good at what they do. Most of them become Officer pets and fuck with their subordinates because a lot of them aren't really intelligent and so they know the power of rank is all they have in life. I say this all the time, but many Senior Enlisted are like Samuel L Jackson in Django. They'll never be "Masta", but they have a little authority over the rest of the slaves and so that tiny bit of power goes strait to their high and tights

Instead, they just beat me down until I was done with the military. Then they had the nerve to ask if I wanted to pay $75 for an award plaque at the end of the tour, something all the other NCOs were kicking in for.

Yep. I've had officers try to pull that, "You _will_ respect me," instead of paying attention to the fact it is, "you will respect my _rank,"_ and then conducting themselves responsibly. I was very lucky in that while I've had a really mixed bag of Captains, and about half the Majors were just crap, about the same for Colonels, I was always able to not only get along with but respect the Generals whom I came in direct contact with, and even those Generals I only heard about through requests I made through the Chain. Sometimes, those Generals did things because of policy set by higher that I was eventually able to overturn; a couple of Generals made my list of people I respect by picking up and doing the right thing, damn the consequence. But God, I acknowledge that I was a *hard* soldier to have under the responsibilities of direct Officer authority! Post Commanding General calling my Captain in to explain very loudly that he is to, "Get your house in order, because your PFC is [miss-] leading a Master Gunnery Sergeant into behavior and ways of thinking that the Corps no longer condones." Yes, I was Army, and yes, it was a Marine General yelling at my CO so loudly people could hear it outside the building--I heard about it from _drivers_ waiting outside!

My unit said, screw the policy and those in charge, we're going to be more restrictive and never allow anyone their gold card. After I was there a year and a half without issues, the commanding general of 3rd Marine Division said: hey people in charge of this unit not following my standing orders, get your sh*t together and issue the deserving marines their gold cards like everyone else or you'll be back to being a butter-bar...

She was unceremoniously discharged from the USMC with a General under Honerable Conditions. They took her off post and kicked her out of the car at a gas station with nothing but the uniform on her back. Her property and the rest of her uniforms were not taken with her to California. Nor was her cell phone, her car, her driver's license, her wallet, debit card/atm card....in city where she had no friends or family and with not even a dime in money to sustain her life. Though she was in confinement, she was never given a court martial nor a Page 11 or whatever the USMC equivalent of an Article 15 is. So, she had to have been accruing pay the entire time as the only way to forfiet anyone's pay is through some sort of official proceedings and judgment. If her commander had given her a field grade judgment she could only have 1/2 pay forfieted for up to two months and be given extra duty for up to three months. But would not have been arrested. Upon her aquiring money enough to purchase her own ticket back to Japan, she flew from the US and upon landing at the airport, made her way back to the naval airbase she had worked at...at 0230...and walked right up to the front gate and requested admission on to the base so she could return to work. She was arrested again and handed over to the Japanese police who put her in pretrial confinement while she awaited the Japanese prosecution team's decision on what to do about the situation. On the 27th of December the Japanese authorities released her and she left Japan. I am only guessing that the Japanese authorities told her they would not press charges if she agreed to leave Japan and not return to the naval air station. Though, again, that is what I infer from the release. The biggest issue I see is what she did to the station commander. She publicly called him out several times for not standing with her and others seeking religious exemptions as he was known to espouse his Roman Catholicism as she is a devout catholic herself. He is in big trouble as are those who classified her as level 4 + or whatever the military uses as classification scale to denote a special management inmate due to them being violent towards staff or an extreme escape risk. It appears that this was done to take away her religious practice as she had, when possible, received mass daily until her first incarnation in Japan and she had made many complaints about the fact that her commander had ordered her not be allowed any religious freedom while in custody. What a dick move. The fact that they kept her personal property and ensured nothing she would need to transition from the Marines once the situation was concluded is beyond acceptable behavior. But, then again, brandon did this so he will do nothing to make this right.

Toxic leadership has progressively gotten worse over the past roughly 23 years in the Army, Marine Corps and Navy. The Air Force seems to been affected less than the other three but hasn’t been completely immune from it. I’ve served in both the Army and USMC since 9/11, but have worked with all in a joint environment. The military needs to change their paradigm and re-educate leaders on their responsibilities and legal authority.

How is the document a forgery? One, it's the same document used last time, with an updated date. Two, LCpls don't just walk into their Commander's office and say "What is is, Sir? Sign this for me." Things requiring the Commander's signature are sent through the chain, and there are a lot of stops between a LCpl, and a Commander, any one of which could have kicked it back and said "No, this is no good, here's why, fix it." But they didn't, they forwarded it to the Commander, who then approved it. That's not a forgery, that's a document sent through the chain, and approved by the Commander. Something that happens every day. You're absolutely right, Drill, this whole thing was nothing more than her command saying "You have the rights we SAY you have, peasant. And don't any of the rest of you EVER forget that!"

i had to stand witness to an NJP in okinawa and the accused brought in several people to collaborate his story and the command still found him guilty. the military justice system is FUBAR.

[@isaachousley325]

The problem there is that it's an NJP, there is no such thing as not guilty at an NJP/ART 15 in practice. If the command elects to go the NJP route, they have already decided on your guilt; if you know/believe you're innocent, you have to exercise your right to a court martial.

[@ObservationofLimits]

Courts everywhere are fucked. I went for a "speeding" ticket. Cop/prosecution showed up with ZERO evidence. Not even the incident report. Gives total hearsay. I point out state law where "self-test" is not considered calibration I provided VIDEO EVIDENCE proving the cop was lying out his ass. Judge said, well I just have to think you're guilty. So you're guilty.

in Okinawa no way.. Who would have thought. the amount of bs that goes on there is just crazy. As long as your cheating on your wife everything is okay

I can tell you how, how throwing the book back at them as hard as when they threw it and make an example out of them to send a message to other commands that it is not acceptable behavior to be doing that at all.

And they wonder why retention rates and recruiting rates are so low. This is appalling and the worst part is knowing that she will never get the Justice she deserves and the command will never be held accountable. Corruption from the top down.

If in fact she had committed forgery as they claimed and her superiors allowed her to continue her duties they should be held accountable and charge with accessory after the fact. And every document she filled out, submitted, and filed would need to be reviewed and resubmitted. Also her commanding officer and those who approved her charges and punishment need to be removed from command for if nothing else loss of confidence in their abilities to command.
