Restructuring the Army

I was stationed in Fort Irwin, California in the mojave desert. I was told by a drill sergeant during the last days of basic training I would be in Opfor. I was also told that it would be fun. This was not the case. I entered Fort Irwin, and I was told I would be in Operations Group.
Operations Group was suppose to train along side of Opfor, and of course OPfor was a training unit.
I will not go into the personal emotions I was feeling when I first stepped into the MOjave desert.
In Operations Group Cav Scouts did traffic control points that directed convoys and other traffic to live fire. THere were traffic control points that received no traffic. We just sat on our butts smoking cigarettes.
When we weren't in the field, we were in the motor pool.
In the motor pool, we sat in our M-113's or tracks or tanks (Been around since the Korean War or so I was told) waiting for the next smoke break.
I believe OPerations Group had no purpose. OPfor could do our jobs. Since there was alot of spare time for soldiers there was time for drug use and hazing to name a few rule breaking acts.
I figure there are more units, in the continental U.S. that could be gone.
I think the president or pentagon should hire consultants like the military in a corprotions. THe consultants shouldn't just ask superiors what they do in their unit, but they should ask privates, pfc's, and specialists- as in the work horses or the so called grunts.
I think superiors who have worked their 20 years and beyond should be given the option to retire. I think if they decide to stay in, it would be possible for them to lose there rank. The fact they did it willingly should be noted. They will be able to get it back when their country decides where to put them.
I was in my veteran's hopsital and an ex- combat medic who was now a vet and also a nurse now said we should get out of Europe. It made since and I thought he was insightful.
I can only speak for the army. Maybe some jobs or Mos's should be fused together such as infantry and Cav scout. Maybe soldiers in this one M.O.S. should take a written test or it should be apart of traing for what they will do rather it is walking the patrol, driving, or traffic control points.
I was turned on to be a cav scout, because the definiton was to locate the war and set up the frontlines. When I at my first and only duty station I was told that cav scouts didn't do that in Iraq or Afghanistan.
I think ranger school should be like a promotion for soldiers who excede expectations rather that is their pt test or overall performace. GT scores should be taken into account. MIne was 100 which was average.
I hear that ranger school is easier to get into then navy seal training. I don't know too much about the navy.
