Can someone explain to me why it is very well qualified and experienced people are sitting around here as Coporals for years because we're being told just how overmanned we are, especially at the junior NCO level, yet all of these reservists come waltzing in taking these spots?
It is getting ridiculous around here and people are starting to lose their minds. I don't want to bash reservists as whole, but a lot of these people coming in, in my experience, would make good privates... maybe. It's a joke that leadership qualified, combat experienced troops who have been promised promotion for years, are now all of sudden supposed to take orders from these people. It is becoming a real problem around here. Not to fault the individuals either, although some of them don't seem to realise just how lacking they are.
My career is shifting gears shortly, and this won't directly affect me anymore, but I am extremely curious as to what's going on, as are a lot of other people who's opinion is that this is another factor that seems to be undoing the integrity of our Army.
