So we have been through our safety stand down day. And alas, not much has changed. With the exception that the command is really paying attention to the family day now, which is really great. But this Saturday I was shutting down at 1500 and my 1SG is like hey what is going on. I told him that it was time to shut down. Then he acted like he didn't even know about the final cut off time to get out of the station. So that shows me right there that he had not even read about the time off policies at all. It also shows me that he don't even give a shit about them. So tonight he called me up around 10 minutes till 9:00 PM and he was like hey I called the station and no one was there. I was like yeah, we made our requirements for the day and I cut everyone loose. He gets fucking mad. I am like WTF? He starts threatening 4187's, bar to reenlistment and all other sorts of shit. I cannot believe this, after all the attention on the stress recruiters are under, people like this are still doing stupid shit. You cannot give someone a bar just because they cannot put people in the Army or because you think they shouldn't go home right up until 2100. What kills me is the policy says no later than 2100 not up until 2100. Fucking jackass. Until people like this leave USAREC nothing is going to change.

So we have had our famous safety standown day. Guess what? I didn't learn shit. I don't think anyone did. That was about the dumbest, and most disorganized training event I have ever attended. Now we found out they are serious now about family time. What I want to know is how did it ever get this far. They should have been serious about this all along. My command was so fucking funny, doing all the typical false motivation shit. If they really knew how close everyone really is to quitting they would back the fuck off. They are doing shit like, wanting all the other shit on the MAP, even when the contract line is being met. What kills me is if the contract line is being met then who the hell cares? People are coming through the door at an alarming rate and these fucksticks are still bitching about the little things. I am like WTF? Fuck it all I am tired of being a SFC in this Army in charge of other sergeants and me and mine are being treated like shit.

So my 1SG shows up today. Ahhh the smell of cigarettes and stale beer. Because that is what he smells like. Anyway he just comes in and sits there in the office camped out on his computer like Tonto. Dude hardly even says three words to me today. I think he is mad that I have come in here and brought this station to the top of his company and there are station commanders he has had in place for awhile at that, they are not doing as good as we are. Then today he gave me a counseling statement and he didn't even fucking read it off, what a crock. Other than that we added about 4 more to the 5 day projection roster and yippie we are going to write over the mission again. Oh well I guess that doesn't matter.
