One week down

By John, on August 28th, 2010

Training will no longer be an annual requirement. For me it will be something that I live and breathe. My old career field spends a lot of time on simple tasks that we do ad nauseum. The Loadmaster career field demands that each member be fully trained and qualified (current and qualified) on all [...]

Award Winning Stupid

By John, on March 23rd, 2010

I work for three stupid people. They aren’t any brand of stupid, they are award winning stupid. I’ll refer to them as R, S, and O. (they might search the inter webs thus the anonymity).

O wants everything done immediately and doesn’t understand that we cannot do everything at once. He screams mission at [...]

Additional details

By John, on March 5th, 2010

A few weeks ago I wrote a single post titled approved. Here is the rest of the info.

Over the last six years I’ve been dreaming of ways to exit my current career field and continue on in the military while doing a different job. A few weeks ago my wish was finally granted. [...]

The wait sucks

By John, on June 17th, 2009

In 13 hours I will know the results. In 13 hours the results of the job “interview” will be available for all to see. In 13 hours I might be happy or I might be waiting until next year so that I can try again.

I’m waiting on promotion results to arrive and [...]

So I won an award

By John, on February 4th, 2009

I’ve won two awards since I’ve been in the military – two. In my career field we have little opportunity to rub shoulders with any of the big wigs and we are always seperated by a fence and a large distance from the rest of the base so we are often ignored. In fact, [...]

40 days

By John, on January 10th, 2009

I’ve got 40 days to become the ultimate know it all. The test has been looming over my head for a year and I’ve got to buckle down, stop goofing around on the internet, stop goofing around watching TV, and stop goofing around writing useless blog posts (for the most part) so I can [...]

Drive it till the doors fall off

By John, on March 17th, 2008

Its rare that we see a new vehicle in my career field because we drive the heck out of them. While the mileage is never high, the vehicles have seen many hours of use.

When I was in Korea we had an ’85 Chevy truck with 140k miles. Black smoke poured from the exhaust, [...]

Changes to the plan

By John, on June 22nd, 2007

I’ve been trying to get out of my current career field for a few years now and the chance is upon me. I’m going to let the best chance to retrain pass because I think I’ve found a better plan. If I was to retrain I would undoubtedly move away from here within the [...]
