Army BS (Warning, Naughty Word!)
So to expand on my issue with getting a class date:
Surprise, surprise. The reason no one told us about me being in the system (ATARS) for a class that started on Thursday was because I showed up on Tuesday. Obviously, not going to work out. I still think they should have *told* us. We (as in my platoon sergeant and myself) have been wondering what the hell is going on. Now we know why all the blank looks.
Maybe they can get me a March class date. Probably a TDY and return, which suits me fine, as that would give me the chance to get promoted out of my unit. There are a lot of people here that I would want to have see me get pinned on as E-5. There's a lot of people that have helped me get to this point - and I'll admit that there are a few people I'd like to have see me get it for less mature reasons.
So the infamous W (if you read this regularly) had a little discussion with me. About how they really need a date so they can write my award, but they can't release the writeup until I have a date and it needs time to go up the chain and get screwed with and they can't write it early because 1 time in 3 damned years that I have been here, 1 person has had their orders cancelled after the award was given. HE needs me to have a class date and HE needs notification... FUCK!! Trust me, he'll be one of the first to know. I won't hesitate to let everyone know. I may pin a sign to my BDUs with a tear-off countdown, okay. I won't be shy. There may be daily announcements.
It's not that this place is the seventh level of hell, but after 3 years, it is wearing really thin. I have outlasted so many people it's not funny, and I'm getting burned out on my mission. That is not a good thing.
Now I get to head in on my day off, hopefully to get comped on Friday before the ball.
