Why is this a thing? Do they think they look cool or some shit? Is anyone else having the same experience?
Also, what the fuck should I do about it?
>>35043688
It is because they are Army and they are a shit detachment. Any other sensible cadet would have stopped that shit as soon as they saw it and put a boot so far up their ass they brush their teeth with shoe shine. And that is assuming that they just couldn't get it through their thick skulls during the two week lesson the on the fucking grooming standard.

Are you a cadet?
>if so tell them they are fucking out of order and should straiten their shit
>if not, tell them they are out of order and straighten their shit, even a fucking civie sees that shit as wrong. They'll tell you that they don't report to you, report them to whoever is actually in charge
>>35043688
go to the ROTC office and tell their CO or whoever the fuck is in charge. Sit back and enjoy the shit show

>in ACUs with blouse off working out
>every gym on every post and base for every branch of service during lunch hour
OP here, not a cadet, just a Nasty Girl POG. I hate seeing them look like soup salad, but didnt want to over step my jurisdiction.

Can confirm we cadets are a faggot group. Also my unit doesn't have these autism issues and normally I'm the one being that guy, constantly fixing issues.
How is ROTC command structured on a campus?
>>35043863
Normally there is a cadet structure resembling normal units mostly battalion level and lower. Normally most large programs have about 1 full company. Each class has an officer (O-3) and an NCO (E-6+). The seniors also known as MSIV's are taught by the LTC and MSG of the school.
>>35043806
Doesn't fucking matter. You carry something infinitely more. ACTUAL RANK
You wield the power of god that way. If they call you out on bullshit you can list off everything you know, even if you are just a NG POG. Download the grooming standard documents. It is AFI-36-2903 for air force. I assume there is a similar document for army readily available.
>call some bitches out, OP
DO NOT STAND FOR THIS AFFRONT TO GODFATHER'S GROOMING STANDARD
>>35043901
Yea for Army its AR 670-1 and for cadets (not that it fucking matters) its CCR 670-1
>>35043863
Not quite sure, although I know a few of the contracted Cadots in my unit.
>>35043777
Checked
Nothing wrong with boots and utes
>>35043879
That sounds a lot like JROTC. At my school the LTC and MSG were retired. Are the ROTC ones active duty or anything? Because it sounds like they need boot to ass too if they are allowing that level of slack from their cadets.
>>35043918
At normal (NG) units we are normally attached or put into the role of PLs. I work at a BDE S-4 so its a tad different for me but same concept.
>>35043934
Active, all of them. ROTC is considered a broadening assignment for them and lasts 3 years like a normal duty station.
>>35043863
I can field that.
They follow a battalion as it is the smallest unit that can actually conduct itself with some degree of autonomy. For uniforms they need someone for supply, for maintenance of rifles they need someone, for planning they need an officer, and so on. A battalion is as small as it goes while still having a staff. As far as the cadet body goes, it is only about enough for a full company, but most battalions will have two just to serve as an example of how a normal battalion looks.
>not the greatest example in the world for an ROTC detachment, but you get the idea better
>>35043934
If cadets are walking around as described in violation of AR 670-1 and are infact cadets not just people who have some old army shit then they need to be corrected. Normally I do so by first correcting them in private, then if they continue I call them out in front of others. Examples of corrections I have made:
>Headphones in while in uniform outside
>Talking on phone or looking at phone while walking
>PC is on fucked up like they're hunting coons
>Patches in wrong spot
>Trousers unbloused
>Shoestrangs hanging out
One must keep in mind that new cadets (MSI's) sometimes have zero prior military experience and needed to be mentored hence why I don't immediately shit on them.
>>35043688
was a cadet in the uk it was jokes but seriusly all kids should join it, it's jokes also some of the di can be cunts
>>35043901
Consider it done
>>35044032
Today, OP was not a faggot. My respect is to you, great National Guard POG, willing to stand up to bullshit and an affront to the grooming standard.
>>35043753
cadets are not members of the military, and are civilians.
>>35044571
Cadets don't think like that though.
>>35044571
not entirely true. Some aren't but when we receive our contracts we take the oath.
>>35043688
>>see guy wearing APFU sweatpants, GI desert combat boots, and waffle top
>>see bitch wearing PT T-shirt tied up to show off her belly button
Mixing IPFU clothes with civilian clothes is allowed when off-post and if authorized, on-post while off-duty. Basically, just don't show up in formation looking like that.
>>see cadet in ACU with blouse off working out
Technically not allowed when on-post, but nobody cares. And you're being a little bitch for complaining.
But then again I was never a cadet so fuck I know...
