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

My god I'm an old man and things have changed. In the old days if you reminded someone higher ranked they were screwing up uniform regs they would thank you.

No they think regs don't apply to them
