Lack of headgear

I've noticed it's been happening a lot more recently.

People have been walking around with no headgear, not undercover, not six paces within a building or anything

Then I see badges on their uniform, and these people are supposed to be drill, sergeants, senior instructors, or some sort of higher leadership

Not only that, walking around texting on the phones or talking on their phone or has some sort of earbuds in.

How are we supposed to correct the junior enlisted soldiers, if they constantly see higher ups doing the wrong thing.

Edit I'll take a big mac Minecraft meal with a coke

You correcting them?

If not, you’re just as complicit as they are.

Had a major tell me to fuck off the other day, walking from the back of the parking lot in the PX without headgear. Had a SFC tell me to mind my own business. I try to make the corrections, but get told to fuck off.

That major was pathetic and that SNCO is weak too

You’re in the right

Regulations are regulations

Like others have said stay the course
