    Thanks for the write-up! Am also ex-11B, and this really takes me back. A lot of things I don’t miss about the army. Having a new officer come in and make some shitty changes, seemingly just to stroke their ego and put a bullet on their OER—that’s definitely on the list.

      Me too, every time I thought about going back I realized I couldn’t willingly put myself under that anymore. The combat deployments sucked, but it was what it was. Having people above you tell you that you can’t wear the issued sun hat in a deployed desert environment because, “it’s not professional”, is just one ridiculousness too far.
