| He appears to be accepting the consequenses of his decision so I see no reason to be judgemental about the whole thing. He doesn't want to be there with a seemingly valid reason why, and he is by no means obligated to stay, all the while he is aware that he will have to pay back what was given to him.  I always hated all that religious stuff in the military, too, but as an enlisted, I didn't question it, I just did what I was supposed to do. Training to be a leader in the form of an officer, though, I would think is a little different when it comes to questioning things, challenging things.

| He's an idiot. 5 months to go? I hope they make him pay the $200-300K back. BOP likes this.

If you fail out or drop out the Army could, and does, require you to fulfill your requirement in the enlisted ranks, IF you came into the Academy FROM the enlisted ranks. They'd 'promote' him to E-4 and put him in an MOS of the Army's choosing not his, and being a Sr the normal payback is 2 years for every one of school so he SHOULD be looking at over 6 years of service as an EM..

For those that may not know,Ronald Lee Ermey plays the roll of a Marine Drill Instructor so well is because he was a Marine Drill Instructor. The real thing for sure! However he wasn't a Gunny until On May 17, 2002, he received an honorary post-service promotion to Gunnery Sergeant (E-7) from the Commandant of the Marine Corps General James L. Jones in recognition of his continuing support to Americans in military service, a rank consistent with Ermey's character as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. In my years in the corps, one thing I will never forget. There was never a lot of JFC this or JFC that or God Da_m this or that. We all knew our time was limited on this earth and eventually we would all have to stand at attention before the ultimate commander in chief. As soon as a curse was uttered, another Marine would correct the offender and everyone would agree, you don't cuss in my Corps. Especially so in the officer's ranks. That constitutes total disrespect for the Commander in Chief. The only derogatory words out of the DI was f___got, maggot, slimeball, turd etc and they were directed at us. One of the funniest events was standing for inspection. At the last moment, before falling out, we all brushed the dust off our weapons with a clean paint brush. One boy from Louisiana apparently got a bristle caught in the receiver and it was highly visible in the sun of the parade deck. The DI inspector claimed it was a "pubic hair" and that this Louisiana boy was "f___king" his rifle. I never worked so hard to keep from rolling over in laughter while this poor kids face turned bright purple as he clumsily tried to deny it. This was all done in front of the entire platoon by a screaming, going berserk, drill instructor. Oh the memories.! Nupe2 likes this. | |
