Work is interesting. Being around to see the pissing constests that are starting up. A bit of advice, whle betting on rank is usally a good idea, never ever bet against SOF guys when it comes to pissing constests. You can't beat people not only don't give a shit, but who's chain of command is a lot shorter ladder to the top ( Read more... )

Damn it's hard rasing these officers. I prepare a breif each evening, highlighting the events that pertain to the unit we're at, then the cpt comes in, polishes it a bit, then does the breif. Last night he came in, looked what I thought was important enough to put on their, and got all pissy about. I was putting in unimportant shit and leaving out ( Read more... )

My illustrious warrant officer back with the rest of the unit is about to get fired from out section. Just like she's gotten fired from all the rest of them. Poor woman, she's got a brilliant analytical mind and would make a great leader, just needs a few years of therapy to get over her fears. But, too proud to go get help like that. Oh well, at ( Read more... )

Reading a Heinlein book, 'For Us the Living' and it has a neat idea about declaring war. None of this applies if we were attacked, all defensive wars and reactions are declared normally. But in order for the president or congress to declare war on someone else when we're not attacked, it has to be voted on ( Read more... )

Started with the sergeant's time training that I actually got pulled off. But I got lots of entertainment out of it, one super trooper showed up without any of the battle rattle on (helmet, armor, knee pads, etc) and this is after I gave them all a detailed list on exactly what they're supposed to bring. He did a LOT of low crawling the during the ( Read more... )

Work keeps piling it on. There's 3 other enlisted in my team, one has been in a class until today, one is a private detailed to help the other NCO take care of property book stuff. So that's left just me in the office to handle the training calendar, frago tracker, and whatever the hell the officers think is important that day ( Read more... )

Been a long past few days. My mother is wigging out pretty bad recently and Thursday I had to stay up late to talk her down and calmed and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love talking to my mother, one of the few people I can talk to on the phone for long periods of time, just didn't want to loose sleep over it ( Read more... )

Work is getting a little more hectic, dealing with an officer who's a bit of an ass but not to bad. Main thing is fighting with the damn computer programs about the web site. Trying to do seemingly simple things that just won't happen. I'm alerady hating webparts and I'm barely into it ( Read more... )

I picked up my bike today ( Read more... )

I'm in the last quarter of my staff duty, 24 solid hours of sitting on my ass not doing much of anything. Sheniah was oddly taking it pretty rough, acting all sad and pitiful about daddy not coming home and not being able to see me. Funny how she's not like that when she goes out to a sleep over ( Read more... )
