As far as hurry up and wait goes, one thing that drove me nuts was the "Get there 10 minutes early" unwritten rule. It would be fine if it ended there, but with each level of the chain of command that the formation time had to filter down, another 10 minutes were removed from the formation time, so by the time word got to the troops they were there at least an hour early.

You people out there with civilian jobs don't like having 1 or 2 bosses? In the Army , you have THOUSANDS of bosses. Think about that. Everyone who outranks you is your boss. Even if you just ran into them for the 1st time in your life 2 seconds ago and you don't know them from adam. And what they tell you to do isn't optional. Even giving them a dirty look can get you written up.

Not if you don't fall directly under them and what they tell you to do contradicts an order you've already been given. Some sergeant from another unit can't come to me on the street and start barking orders like I belong to them. It doesn't work that way.

Hurry up and wait = division run before 4 days weekend (meet up with platoon sergeant -> company formation -> wait -> battalion formation -> wait -> brigade formation -> wait -> division CG start running -> wait -> run -> wait -> company formation -> platoon sergeant telling us what is going to happen -> dissmiss until after lunch -> going back to company area -> company formation -> wait -> GI Joe party at the barracks -> wait -> company formation -> safety briefing -> finally going home (oh no someone messed up. Come back to platoon) -> wait ->can we go? -> finally

In situations of leave, it has to be dire, like your unit has been called up for rapid deployment and they need you back.

That intro was hilarious 😂

I hated doing layouts whenever command changes and we sit there in the motor pool for hours waiting on the CO to show up.

I hated that delayed SP time with a passion. Something similar happened to me when I was in Germany. We had to be at the company at 0400 to draw weapons. 0630 was supposed to be the SP. We didn't leave until 0930 because S3 didn't get clearance from the German government authorizing us to convoy and they had to wait for the Germans to get to their office (Germans don't start early and love their time off).

I hate just about everything in the army not just 5...it has very few good but im still getting out,never to return

Hurry up and wait is in my country almost the same.😊

Hurry up is the #1 most hated for me. Coming in from the field at 9pm “Hurry up, hurry up we’ve got to get this equipment turned in!” Nobody can go home until the whole division has all equipment present and accounted for. Your thinking about seeing your kids, your wife, tipping up a beer, whatever. But the last person in some company you never even heard of doesn’t turn in his equipment (maybe he had lost it and went back to get it, I don’t know). You end up waiting until almost 3 in the morning for the last piece of equipment to be accounted for, no fault of your own, before you can go home. Only in the military!

Dont forget wakin up early for morning PT.

You should be in Special Forces. I got called off of leave once and had a love for solo backpacking. They called my mom and she gave them a 180 mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail, which I was on. This was in the earliest of cellphone days so I didn’t carry one. Everything goes was fine, but when I came off of leave I was overseas the next day. A HUGE plus one Special Forces was that hurry up and wait was at a bare minimum but it still did happen.

Having to PCS every 3 years or so and have little control over where you will be sent 10. EVERYTHING is a priority and urgently need taking care of (nothing is optional, or 'whenever you get a chance to look at this'. Everything is due now, hurry up.

** HURRY UP AND A LONG WAIT !

The furthest I got was when I took the practice ASVAB and the qualifier test to see if I was eligible for the Army (I scored high enough to join any branch btw) and the internet connection was behaving by itself for a few minutes, but nothing compared to when I took the real thing at MEPS. Oh my god, it was worse. The internet connection turned off a few times there and I think the test was longer than usual. Then me and another guy who went with us to MEPS had to wait another 2.5 hours because there were six of us total, one was going to the hotel before getting shipped, the other left and we were waiting on the third person. Then a sergeant came by to drive us back to the office. We left for the test at 10, got there at 12, finished the test at 3 and got back at 7 PM. Hurry up and wait can teach you to be patient but it will drive you up the wall in a car with no brakes, and you don't even need to be in the Army to get a slice of it.
