Mostly the 82nd

I think most of the "hatred" is in fact the 82nd. I don't know maybe it is "I would'ves or should'ves", but what I am getting from my experience and most of my friends experiences is that in combat arms units its a selfish game and they (highers SFC-CSM) worry about their reputation with the highers than any their soldiers desire to improve themselves, and careers. In my unit it's ok to leave guys behind who are going to PRC or Ranger during JRTC support of another unit but if someone is going to SFAS "oh well they are staying in the unit that's why they are staying back and training and your not, and I understand that your going to SFAS 4 days after we get back but you will be there in LA with us." But thats the "Division" for you. I have come to realize that alot times in the unit actions speak louder than words. The whole we support you is said and the back stabbin starts as soon as you decide you want something better outside of DIV. Oh well we think you should stay you're in the top 5 for the next school and we know we've screwed you over on promotions and other things but if you stay and give up your dreams to be better, than it will be better here we promise. Don't go SF you dont have the mentality for it or you gotta run 10mi at a 5min/mi pace. But no matter what I am continuing on with my dream. Karma is a mother
