I am a new member of the army reserves. I have not yet recieved my kit. However, one of the guys who just got his kit the first Tuesday after stand to recieved his. When attempting to mark his name and stuff on the webbing and other gear, he was dismayed to find up to 4 other names on the gear. Each one scratched out in black marker from the person who got the gear next in line. I mean, it all works good, but the matter is of moral and not of quality. (Or so it seems to me) It is kind of discouraging to receive used gear. I think that we would retain more recruits by making our soldiers and servicepeople feel wanted, feel respected, feel like they deserve the best because they are the ones doing their best for their country. I have no intent on quitting because I am likely to recieve old gear, but psycologically many members feel demoralized because of it. Any agreements here? Mabey it‘s time for us all to try and find a way to make some more people aware of the funding problems instead of simply bitching about it?
