I was in JROTC in High School, and a true Command Sergent Major shamed my for not knowing how to hem my pants. I still never learned how, but he ripped me a new one.
Had you known how to sew, you could have mended that rip!
No point in shaming others for not having a skill. If your sergeant didn't like it they ought to have sat you down with a needle and thread and trained you themselves.
He was a good man, from an era where you broke other guy's balls to let them know you liked them.
It wasn't malicious.
Ah, I'm sorry if it seemed like I assumed that. I'm sure he'd have happily taught you these things if his job allowed the time for it.
Oh, he did, but I was a stupid 15 year old male, and immediately forgot it. My mind was on chasing girls. 😉
Yeah, my mind skipped the J and went straight to ROTC. WHY IS THIS SERGEANT NOT TEACHING A GROWN ADULT HOW TO FIX HIS UNIFORM oh right
