VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Today's Army Author: Roy Scott [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:17:23 03/03/05 Thu Dave,i work close with soldiers on daily basis over here in northern ireland. most of the of the newer ones dont hold the same pride for there regiments or companys(bty) the unwritten codes of never leaving a mate behind and looking out for each other seem to have gone,i think it has alot to do with the way they go through basic training now it seems to be alot easier and certain eliments get through the system where as before they would have been sifted out,drugs is a big problem in the army now.the way sncos and jncos are spoken to by privates would never have been heard of when i was in respect seems to be lacking. and the fear that use to send soldiers diving for cover when the RSM was sighted walking round the camp does,nt happen any more.I agree the army of today is at times at a greater risk but it is a shame to see pride in the unit your serving in fading away.
