I never knew anything but a peace time Army, it will no doubt be a hard adjustment for those who have spent the bulk of their time deployed.

I never thought that any private just out of AIT should be sent to Korea the reason being that they were coddled by houseboys who made their bunks, shined their shoes cleaned their quarters and did all the things for them that they would have been expected to do for themselves in a state side unit. They too had some adjustment issues.

By all means context and common sense will have to come into play, to me it comes down to one’s discipline and personal pride. Back to the basics of soldiering, surely many of you can recall seeing some ragtag private with absolutely no military bearing standing outside the PX on a training post and thinking WTF.
