Army Reserve Restructuring

[daftandbarmy]

I interviewed quite a few reservists who went over (including reserve officers incidentally). Almost to a man they complained about the homecoming. They were separated almost instantly from the guys they had just shared the most intense year of their life with and felt quite alone (unless they were lucky enough to have a buddy from the same unit who went over at the same time). The problem was identified early on but never fixed.

Thank you for your service through 100+ contacts...

And then the (never deployed) CO and RSM unload on you because you're wearing a coyote coloured dump pouch and don't have scrim on your helmet ...

... because that's the most important thing

Funny story. The only complaint of that type was from a RegF MWO who was pissed because the stay-at-home RSM told the MWO to get himself and his returning boys to get back into Woodland and stop wearing the Arid tan around base. They thought they'd earned a few days to show off. The RSM thought otherwise.
