You are a real piece of work. Glad as HELL I never supervised you.
NOT a thing you said invalidates what I said. Didn’t I say you couldn’t get to 20 as an E-4? So you counter you had to be a SSgt. What the F??? Same thing.
Anyway, I don’t intend to take your advise to screw myself. You sound VERY bitter about your military service.
NO ONE is held back from promotion for not taking another short tour. You either pass the promotion test or you don’t UNLESS you got a letter of reprimand or an article 15 too many times. I’ll bet you were well known by the First Sergeant.
Lastly, things really changed after the 70’s. There has been 42 years since you had to say Yes sir/No sir. Even my own experiences can not say a thing about post 9/11 ops tempo, service contracts, etc. You don’t know after 1976; I don’t know after 1998.
But that’s ok. Go ahead and get furious at me anyway you wish. I’ll let you have the last word.
In fact, I can’t wait to read it. I’m already to roll my eyes at your bluster.
Oh go bite me. You when you started would never have ‘supervised’ me, boot. I was a smart intelligent draftee who go caught up in the draft. You’re just a zebra whining because you can’t double dip (and you weren’t able to before this brouhaha over nothing about ‘vets’.) I took a short on a VRB 4 and then extended twice because my career field was overseas limited. 8 + years dipwad.
And you are a complete liar for saying you couldn’t have gotten an ineligibility letter for not extending - they did it to me. That’s just complete sh!t and you know it.
I’m not bitter about my service despite what you think. I am highly thankful for it. It taught me a lot and I gave much more back. I was in fact the best in my AFSN.. I was damned good. And I took that knowledge and translated it into a college degree and a career at which I was much more successful. I could not have gotten to where I stopped with out it.
Frankly, you strike me as one who looked at the rules as they were (ever changing) and adjusted accordingly. I just did what my job required and I got two honorable discharges and was released ... have a nice day dipper.
