Alright well most people know who I am on the fourm here or have at least ran into me in the chat. I'm home now and I have been to both Iraq and Afghanistan, Im not going to vent about that becasue I really have no need for that. However I will say this the entire armed forces of every single branch need to do this.................
CUT TROOPS!!!! NOT BENIFITS AND PAY!!!
The Army Times ran an article about this not to long ago I seen it about a week before I left Afghanistna.
Here is the point as short and cut to the chase as I can be. If your not able to pass a damn PT test, (which an overwhelming number in the National Guard can't its almost disgusting!) If you are Non-Deployable IE medical or physical reasons for longer than 1 fiscal year ex. Oct 1 to Oct 1. Or if you cannot maintain the basic skills to maintain your position in your unit EX. WLC MOS BNOC ect. schools. I have zero sorrow for you and you NEED to take the uniform OFF and find a civilain job!!! Thanks for your time and service but its time to go!!
Doing this would open the door for others to move up the ranks that deserve the position and also all the way down to the bottom of the totem pole for New enlisties to jobs that are currently overmaned.
CUT TROOPS NOT BENIFITS !!!!

what he said Warm bodies in camo uncapable of the day to day duties in combat time are a liability in time of crisis and will do nothing but get themeselves and everyone around them killed. Quality beats quantity every time. Semper fi

70% of the Reserve and Guard would be kicked out. and anyone with any medical reason and profiles would be out.

Going on 8 years in the National Guard and I have never failed a PT test, Have zero profiles, and I have 2 MOS's 91M Bradley Mechanic and 94M Sentinel Radar Mechanic. Yet at my last annual training 70% could NOT pass a PT Test. Hell during the Afghanistan deployment people couldnt pas the run! Umm all the is to do on a deployment is your mission eat sleep and waste time in the gym!!
And I say again.
Cut Troops not Benifits !!!

Spend 5 mins walking around Kandahar AirField and you will realize this statement is true. too many degenerates. however if you happen to see any body wearing a 2nd Cav (Dragoons) patch, specifically L troop (varsity since 1862) this statement would be FALSE
