Everything good comes with a price- Lucifer.
I was promoted today, with 56 days left in service. Kinda stupid. Actually, its a slap in the face. Normally, people would be happy with an advancement in rank and money, but thats not the case here. Its been exactly one year to the day since I was supposed to get my automatic E-4. And the only reason I didn't get it was because of a screw up in S1. After it was fixed, did I get my promotion? No, instead I worked for a year. Worked through injuries, emotional situations, life altering situations. I showed everyone, that even me, the companys own "Comeback Kid" that I could do every job, every task, detail and/or small leadership position thrown at me.. And after I made my decision to get out, applied to college, set in a relationship I don't plan on ending any time soon, or ever for that matter, they slap me in the face with a promotion as a way to say "Thanks for your service to our company, re-enlist and come break yourself down some more!"
And on top of that, they are making me go to JRTC when I should be clearing. Its screwing me out of plans that I had. Only plus is the money that the army is gonna give me for selling them days. Who knew that getting out of the military is actually harder than getting in? Not me... Not me. I just want to be home with my family, my extraordinarily beautiful fiance and the kids. Is that really too much? Is It?
Forever yours,
The Son, The Brother, The Uncle, The Friend, The Fiance Steven. |
