[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3129650, member: 40091"] A and crusty ole Master Sergeant once told me, "The best way to make it in the military is to keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut". Whether the Captain was right or wrong is irrelevant. Your only response should have been "Yes Sir!" LTs, CPTs and even Majors dont generally dont make policy, they follow it. Most likely he was giving the benefit of his 6 to 10 years of military experience to your zero military experience. You cant make assumptions based on what anyone tells you about the military. Opinions are subjective and lack any substance without any service experience. Any policy that seems stupid that actually is stupid, you can bet your bottom dollar that it was a political policy. Again doesn't matter. Most of those policies are driven by the fact that we're dealing with foreign entities. Other policies may seem stupid, but in fact, 99% of the time there are reasons behind them. You wouldn't begin to understand them until you have had 5 to 10 years of service strips on your sleeve.
