I'm glad I could make you laugh. I could use a laugh right now too . . . I'm incredibly depressed and disillusioned lately.

I found out recently that almost 9 years in the military have all been for naught. Total waste of a third of my life, and I have nothing to show for it.

I've been called many things in life. I've never been accused of being inept before. But that's what my unit called me. They demoted me (administratively, not punitively, as if that's somehow supposed to make it sting less) for "inefficiency," the military term for "he's untrainable and worthless," and barred me from re-enlisting.

I had a squeaky-clean record before I came to this unit. If I had just gotten out in 2010 like I was supposed to, my record would be spotless. Extending for another year was the stupidest thing I ever did in the army.

It's pretty humiliating.

Why don't you break that off into another thread, Rourke?

9 years is a serious investment.

I'd be happy to discuss some options.

Sorry to hear that Non. The Army really ticks me off. Last week my son got a letter from the VA telling him that they were revoking his college benifits. AND want over $3500 back. From what I gather it is because he is no longer active duty. :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx:

Does FTA still stand for "fuck the Army?"

Sorry to here about the crap, Rourke.

Try to remember that you do have more to show for that 9 years than you think. In the long run, one set of pinheads can't screw your life up.

And also remember that "squeaky clean" is overrated. Only tv reporters and political hacks and academic know-nothings believe that the valuable and interesting people come without blemish.

Dont get me started on "performance reports" and the like. I've seen too many people who like to be in positions of writing them are pinheads.

Trust me, you aren't inept.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Nonstop, start with a JAG lawyer. See what they say. Figure out what you want to do. Transfer, charges dropped, or just get out, etc.
All else fails, and you know you are 100% in the right, to burn all bridges, just drop a line to your congressman & watch them scatter.
