West Point Class of 2024 Infantry Post Night

[@mztech1925]

11C here. FIrst ID. My apologies to the guy who got Ft. Riley. But THANK YOU for your service

[@AOL0321]

God Bless the Long Gray Line. DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY!

[@Snuffy03]

There is no honor left at West Point when they reject the greatest cadet to ever attend, Robert E. Lee.

[@AOL0321]

@@Snuffy03 True! Many don't realize that he was the Commandant there as well! Effing Lt. wingers....I hate them to the core!

@@Snuffy03 And a Traitor to the Republic.

[@Snuffy03]

@@governoret Lee graduated 2nd in his class, right behind Albert Sydney Johnston. To this day he is the only cadet in the history of West Point to graduate without one single demerit on his record! He was also Superintendent of the academy when JEB Stuart was a cadet. He was offered command of the Union Army in the spring of 1861, he turned it down, but when Virginia seceded he resigned his commission. I consider Lee a man if honor and conscience who merely fought against an intrusive federal government. I would do the same. Now those men who opposed a government which pushed itself to the forefront of violating the Cobstitution. Now the shiny snowflakes say such men are traitors. They just did what their ancestors did. As all should do today against the shitty government we now have. Remember. Our shitty government is NOT the Republic. The oeople ate and it's time they stood up to the people who want to rewrite history, and control our lives. Well,they all can kiss my Rebel posterior!

[@governoret]

@@Snuffy03 all I hear is a lot of flaky bullshit. Levying war against the United States, which is what he did (by following a seceding gov't, which people DID recognize as wrong and unconstitutional then - you parrot the fiction that this was an unsettled question) and defending an institution of slavery and the debasement of fellow men is neither honorable nor conscionable. Shame on you and your fellow traitor-roaders for defending an indefensible man.

[@GeistView]

Welcome to the duty roster. Don't show up thinking you know anything... you don't. Learn from your NCO's, don't be a burden. Your time on line is short, you will get pulled to a shop. More than likely... the S3. Get to know and love Powerpoint.

[@TxInfinity]

Another crazy thought is that maybe 5-10 out of this class will make it to 20 years.

[@XX89948]

Ahh the salty enlisted who can't pick up anything further than e6. Give the kid's a chance to lead, make mistakes, and learn. Any great NCO who mold and create the best officers for the armed forces aren't pricks. Understand that the grad from OCS, ROTC, and the Academies also know things you don't know. Leaders, which an NCO is, always is humble, it's a two way street Sgt, your NCOs should have shown YOU better.

[@GeistView]

@@XX89948 "Ahh the salty enlisted who can't pick up anything further than e6." close but sorry SFC "Give the kid's a chance to lead, make mistakes, and learn." LOL you talking about the current Army. LOL "Any great NCO who mold and create the best officers for the armed forces aren't pricks." They sure are. " Understand that the grad from OCS, ROTC, and the Academies also know things you don't know." They don't know shit. ROTC instructor, Fort Lewis. "Leaders, which an NCO is, always is humble," find "humble" in the Creed. "it's a two way street Sgt," SFC "your NCOs should have shown YOU better." They did, that's how I know better.

[@XX89948]

@@GeistView oh sliver me timbers sergeant first class, I didn't mean to address you by the wrong rank. I apologize for my insubordination from the godforsaken KZbin comment section. Makes even more sense now SFC, the grump gunny e7.. My point still stands that you mentor your junior officers, not be pricks for no reason just because they have a college degree and haven't been to combat. As a senior yourself, you haven't seen lot of field time as well either, and do more briefing and powepoints than getting at it and firing your rifle. You became the thing you hate desk jockey :). But like senior NCOS and officers working on operational tasks, they're things way more important to the success of the unit than getting at it. But don't take it from me, talk to your CO or your 1SG, or from headquarters from you BN or CSM, they are going to say the same thing. It's a hard change for grunts who stay in after their first enlistment at 18 whose only mindset was running and gunning. No wonder too, you moved up the ranks in a unit/mos you were your entire career, now the big honcho of the whole company, looks as if the world's your oyster. We are both men here so I'm going be direct, once you go up the ranks either here or in the civilian sphere, it's going be a very small world. When you get a reputation by your peers of being an arrogant prick, especially berating new officers and soldiers who you were placed to mentor on their first day, you make it even smaller. Keep it up, and even if you do make it e-8 or e-9, you will never run this command. You'll die in that corner of XO's in detached units doing staff positions with the other salty enlisted who the Army waits until they EAS out where they forever live in the shadow of their uniform hanging off their closet as they work as a part time manager in some clothing department. Don't let it be you, that's all I'm saying.

[@mazsenior]

Congrats to these brave service members as they embark on a career to protect the best nation in the world. God bless you all.

[@DaleBrose]

Congrats young LT's. Females in the infantry is something new to me but I guess it's a different infantry than it was 39 years ago. In any case, welcome all the new LT's to the 25th ID family. Please treat your enlisted with respect and listen to and be willing to learn from your senior enlisted.

Is there an Armor night, or is Captain Crunch the only host?

[@Yodie208]

Oh boy.. new butter bars, we had a new butter bar assigned to our unit, while walking through a swamp one night, he hit a soft spot and started to sink. The dude started to panic, It was easy to just extend a hand and pull him out. In another incident, I was TDY to jump school from the 1/75th. A butter bar could not keep up during morning PT runs, as I was behind him I would push him when he started to slack that was standard procedure in a Ranger unit... guess who decided to pull rank?

[@mikemcrae1977]

As an old 1/509 er in Vicenza Italy in 1982-84 I knew Italy would go fast. As an enlisted Grunt I was told by my 2Lt. One night that only the top people from West Point get chosen for Italy. I signed up for the 509 on contract but was sent to Ranger school and then to Italy. Hope they still run Monte Berrico on numbered tongue depressor runs. Find an old timer or someone who knows how that went , it was brutal and you didn’t want to be the last in with Col. Nukem Needham looking at you. But women in the infantry ? Outboard personnel stand up- inboard personnel standup -check static lines -check tampons .. All OK JUMPMASTER
