Why is it like this?
Really depressed ngl. Recently got married… Yay. New house… Yay. New car… Yay. Freshly promoted to Corporal…
I fucking hate this, I’ve been a CPL for 4 months now… There are only 5 soldiers in my MOS in the BDE… Don’t have any under me. In fact not just my MOS, I have 0 soldiers.
Despite constantly begging for responsibility or to do my job as an NCO for my MOS, I’m always told no… Why?
I am useless as an NCO, why take the effort to sponsor me for the board and send me to BLC just to treat me like a Private? How am I supposed to be a good NCO without experience leading?
Why do I have no soldiers but all the soldiers in my section come to me for help?
This whole thing with NCOs doing shit to look good on an NCOER is pissing me off. If you have to try so hard maybe you aren’t a good NCO. Maybe you shouldn’t have that position.
Tell me why an NCO from an unrelated MOS is leading MY soldiers… You can’t because it makes no sense. But “Oh this section looks really good to BDE they like us. Good NCOER for me and you all can go fuck yourselves”.
This shit is annoying, I just want to do my duty and lead soldiers. I want to do my job, help the soldiers, mentor the soldiers, and be the NCO I wished I had. But I can’t.
Why do we always put lazy incapable people in charge? I used to be so motivated but the laziness and stubbornness of these NCOs has made me lose all motivation and driven me into depression. Which I haven’t had for over a year now.
All for what? Is your NCOER worth my career? Worth any effort?
There’s my rant, I know the roasts are coming. I already know I’m failing as an NCO, a soldier and a person though. So no need to remind me there.
And I’ll take a small chocolate frosty, because this whole day has just made me feel sick and I don’t want to eat more.
