We all know everyone loves to hate field grades. But on a serious note, what are the things you NCOs, LTs, and CPTs see us do that make you want out of the army?

“People get far enough into their career get over the hump where they think they just need to stay in for 5-8 more years for retirement, even though they don't want to stay in. So you have people who hate their job, which means they won't do a good job.”

“would not let commanders command at their level and would plan and schedule everything outside the battalion staff level. When I asked why I wasn’t allowed to execute the training and certification at my level, His response was; other CPTs have failed before you

“So we have brought it to our level. This same MAJ would be quick to blame any deficiencies with the plan,training or task on the commander. WTF sir! I went straight off your OPORD.”
