Cadet12345, I'm not an Academy grad nor am I a former ROTC member but rather just old school military. I notice a few things wrong here that gives me pause on the future of our military by reading this thread. My main issue is what are they teaching or rather what are the cadets taking from the lessons.
You from your posts are sounding like you feel you're a victim. Not a good quality in someone that is going to be responsible for the welfare of troops that they will be responsible for.
The military is Not a unionized organization. If you have a grievance, there is no union steward to take up your cause. It's up to you to take charge of the situation as a future leader of troops and fix problems.
Asking for help on a forum is not the place to find solutions to a problem nor even to seek advice. Facing the issues head on with those that have direct influence on the situation is. That would be the chain of command. It's called a chain for a reason. If it can't be resolved at the first link in the chain, then you take it to the next higher link.
Sometimes it doesn't work out to your satisfaction. Sometimes someone else is the problem and sometimes you are the problem.
It will not get resolved until you determine what the root cause of the issue is and correct that.
Good luck with this but with that said, it's time to become that future officer you are striving to become.
Sorry if this sounded harsh. Just my uninformed opinion based on 20+ years in the business.
