Went from regs to chocs and now I’ve got a Corporal who thinks he’s SASR
Did my time in the Regs, then became a choc thinking I’d ease into a more relaxed tempo while still scratching the itch.
Instead I’ve landed under a Corporal who’s never done a day of full-time service in his life but runs around like he’s a socom operator. Stricter than anything I ever saw on the reg side, dead set. Acts like it’s your first week at Kapooka and it’s cringe to watch in action.
Then I get advised I’d be charged for being AWOL over rocking up to parade 8 minutes late even though I gave prior notice about work commitments and possible traffic delays.
I get maintaining standards, genuinely do. But there’s a difference between discipline and main character syndrome. Some of these part-time guys seem to think the stiffer they are, the more legit it makes them.
Anyone else run into this going Regs to chocs?
