Question for Vets...

You can't teach a kid respect. I am Staff Sergent in the Army I am currently deployed overseas for a certain counrty closeout. If the dumbass put strips on his arm and does not understand the meaning he is going to spend the rest of is life explaining it to people, and piss more people off then anything because the only people that are going to ask, are going to be people related to the military. I would be mad about it, but everyday I get some new kid in and he or she seems to be a little more less disiplined last. Teach him if he will listen about what those Stripes mean I wear mine with pride it took me 5 years to make sergent 8 to make Staff Sergent I have 11 years in now and do not intend to quit. If he doesnt listen now. He will understand later in life what a doumbass he was.
