ATTN: Sustainment

[Don Coyote]

You fucking suck.

Fuck logistics. Fuck sustainment. These kinds of units are the bottom of the fucking barrel. With bottom of the fucking barrel leadership.

"What's that? You don't want to reenlist? Ok, we aren't going to bother to move you down to a supply room like we should have 2 years ago, and we won;t bother to send up someone for you train up to do you job after you leave and while we are deployed. Oh and we aren't going to send you to the board, and we never planned on it once you said you weren't going to reenlist. By the way I need you go over the companies and tell me what they need in their conference rooms and then do the job that their repair & utilities NCO should be doing."
- Clueless CSM

"Hey I need you to get a count of how many empty rooms are in the barracks for this -hands email-" There are 74 "Which ones? I asked for a list of the rooms"  "go get me a list of the rooms" The guy who sent out the email is the same guy that you have to go to get that information and the first sergeants and platoon sergeants have copies of the barracks utilization report. "But it's not broken down by empty and filled rooms. I need you to make a spreadsheet of all the empty and partially filled rooms using this barracks report from last month"
- my clueless S4 NCOIC, who I am convinced is retarded. Not just stupid but mentally handicapped. Like she couldn't understand how I could get a different number from her by COUNTING. I had to count out-loud, slowly for her to follow along.

"I am tired of this foolishness with these FLIPLs(look it up). I am tired of having to flip around looking for the information that I need. I want you type up all this information on this sticky for each FLIPL and staple it to them"
On the sticky is the company

then the investigation number, which is composed of the unit identifier number, the company, the calender year and a sequential number saying which FLIPL of the year it is. SO right off the bat she is asking me to give her a piece of information TWICE.

then the document number

and finally, who lost the shit.

Now all but the document number is on the FIRST page of a 2 page FORM, and the document number is on the SECOND page. Clearly she can't fucking read well enough or be able to OPEN a folder and look at the FIRST form that is in it. This is but the latest in the long stream of "I need you do this because I am too fucking retarded/lazy to READ the form" bullshit she has had me do.
'I need a phone roster"
We have one
"I need one with commanders and supply sergeants"
We have one
"And the expendable/durable and non-expendable DODAACs (look it up)"
But we have a spread sheet of all the DODAACs and UICs
"I want them all in one spread sheet"

"But not the deployed ones"
That was after I had already done about half the deployed information
And she doesn't use it.
"I need the number for this supply room"

Or the spreadsheet for all the 92Ys in the BN with all the relevant training certificates.....and combat life saver and combatives....for no reason.
Which she also doesn't use.

How do I know she doesn't use them? She STILL doesn't have a computer or ACCESS to the Ft Lewis intranet or Ft Lewis email account. Going on 5 months of this.

I don't hug, or touch or like being touched by people not in my immediate family unless they are women in my age group and are attractive OR my life in danger. I told her this several times. I DO NOT LIKE MY PERSONAL SPACE INVADED ESPECIALLY BY WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE ARMY ALMOST AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN ALIVE!!!!!! Don't touch me, period.

So, hey the Army is fucking easy. It's the retards in it, that somehow haven't been kicked out for incompetence, probably because of their soldiers just sucking it up and doing the work they should be doing so they look good. I am doing her job, my job, our OIC's job and the job the barracks manager. But they won't send me to the promotion board, have no intentions of doing so because I get out in less than a year(354 days) and won't shift me down to a company supply room like I was told would happen before we deployed, while we deployed and after we got back. Did I mention I have been in the same slot for 4 years? I have had 4 squad leaders, 3 section NCOICs, 4 section OICs, 5 platoon sergeants, 2 company first sergeants, 3 company commanders, 2 battalion commanders, 2 battalion command sergeant majors, 2 brigade commanders, 2 brigade commander sergeant majors, 2 corp commanders and 2 corp CSMs.

Why? Because I did my job too well. I wasn't enough of a fuck up. There was never a free 92Y in the whole BRIGADE to swap places with me. All the other good ones were hoarded and no one wanted the shitty ones. I could have reenlisted for station of choice, but to be honest I never really liked this MOS. And to be honest the only two MOSs I wanted to do I can't because my right eye is too fucked up. 'get your eyes lazored." FUCK YOU I CAN DO THE SAME FUCKING JOB FOR MORE MONEY IN THE REAL WORLD WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE SURGERY DONE TO MY EYES!!!!!

But hey I have a bad attitude because I 'lack motivation' to be a sergeant. No, I lack the motivation because I don't know all my fucking job and I refuse to be one of you fucked up NCOs that lean on your soldiers and make them do your fucking work. I may not like some of the shit the Army and the Nation are doing but I still respect the IDEALS of what an NCO should fucking be. An NCO should fucking know their job, none of this I know what reg it's in. And being able to vomit up shit that you memorized in front of some senior NCOs doesn't mean you are fucking worthy of those stripes. Cheating on your correspondence courses to get your promotion points up defiantly doesn't mean you are worthy of those stripes.

But wait, what's that I could reenlist and reclass to counterintel and get automatically promoted sergeant in an MOS that has no lower enlisted? Oh fuck yea, wait still a private, just one with 3 stripes and more pay. Fuck you, no.

And by the way shit head retention NCO. I know how smart I am. I am too smart all the MOSs in the Army if you go by ASVAB scores, way to not be helpful with getting me a waiver to do one I wanted to do because I'm too smart for it.

Two things:

1.  Welcome to Mother Green.  She's kinda dumb.

2.  One of my best friends just shipped to Ft Lewis.  I should see about arranging for you to meet him.  He's fucked in the head, in the good way.

2. Orly. I think I some fucked in the head that isn't mine.

1.  Given my memories of army chow, that's sort of a Kentucky version of love.

2.  Yeah, he's a good guy.

oh and that reminds me of soemthing else.

FUCKING STUPID ASS COMMANDER COCK BLOCKED ME GETTING MY BAS TURNED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuz as a single soldier in the barracks I am supposed to eat in the Dfac, AND have most of my BAS deducted from my paycheck. Funny thing is they stop that when you deploy. Funnier thing is they didn't start it when I redeployed, in April. 8 months of full BAS...$300 a month that I have the feeling some dick in finance is going to try and gank from me. All because my commander didn't push the paperwork I, and a few other soldiers submitted.
To which I will demand proof that I ate in the DFAC and will pay for every meal I ate in the DFAC. Somehow I don't think I'll win. I see two months of no pay due when I ETS.

Odds are, they'll catch it in about 6 years and take it out of your tax return.  Happens to damn near everyone.

I would all over with rocks.

I probably won't care or remember why by that time. I hope.
