Counting Down
11.27.04 (1:09 pm) [edit]

I'm going nuts waiting to come home on leave!


I had to counsel my soldier today. SSG made me because he was only 3 min. early to his shift instead of 10 min. Now I have to check on him before I head over each day to ensure he's here at the proper time. Give me a break! The guy has been here 9 months, sleeps in a room w/ day people who are coming in and out. Sheesh!


So I'm recommending moving him to a diff. room or putting him on day shift. We'll see what happens. Apparently if he's 'late' again, I'm going to get counseled. This guy is such an ass!!


Ok, done venting!

It breaks my heart to hear about the "Mmanagement style" you kids have to put up with. This is one of the problems of the IRR and this new system of small, quickly activated units. There's no sense of commuity (AKA - giving a crap about the other guy) ... You do by nature, but your SSG obviously doesn't. All you can do, as you are, is try to intervene and make things as good as they can be. Guess you'll have to wait for your reward in "the great beyond" 'cause this guy isn't going to give anybody anything! You can vent all you want when you are home!!!
Love, Mom

Omgosh. Only 3 minutes early? thats an eternity to me. Im lucky to be 3 seconds early. If they wanted you there at 10 till then they should say that instead of telling you x time and expecting you to be there early anyways :(. I think there is a reason that the term FUBAR came out of the military...

Cant wait to see you back here Kendra, stay safe!
