Time to vent~
I have just got to get this out and I don't care if it affends anybody. I fucking hate the marine corp!! Or at least I hate this unit my husband is in, they are all fucking idiots!!! My husband started out in 3/6 and had to have shoulder surgery on both shoulders, so when they deployed this year he could not go with them. Therefore, he was assigned to 2/9, which is sort of like the cousin unit to 3/6 apparantly. Well now they are making him clean barracks he doesn't even live in and never stays at. They are making him stand duty for 24 hrs. when he's on limited duty, I mean he just had surgery in April and just now started physical therapy and they're putting him on 24 hr duty!! WTF?! He's also taking percocets ya know for his shoulder pain...how the hell is he supposed to focus on those?! He even has to wear a sling everyday, so he's wearing it right now on duty. Like what the hell is he supposed to do if someone does decide to break into the barracks? I mean yeah he can handle himself just fine, but the point is he shouldn't even have to, he should not be there! It's fucking stupid, oh and not to mention they never once gave an advance notice about this 24 hr duty. He went to work this morning expecting a normal day, ten minutes after he shows up they tell him he's been assigned to duty for 24 hrs. Do these fucks not realize that he has a daughter and a wife?! He was pissed and took it out on me, so then I got pissed! Luckily, he had physical therapy today in town, so he was able to leave base for that and bring me our only car. I mean, I have a child, I can't be stuck at home over night with no husband and no car, what if something were to go wrong?! So now I have to wake up at 6 a.m. and wake my daughter up two hours earlier than she's used to and drive on base to pick him up and then drive all they way back. Then my husband will be sleeping as I watch and take care of a cranky two year old. FML!
Now, I'm sure a lot of marines out there would tell me to suck it up..but you know what?...FUCK you! I've put up with this shit for over two years and this shit gets old fast!!! I can't wait till it's fucking over. I'll be sooo happy when 3/6 gets back..at least I liked the guys he worked with in that unit and they actually respected me and my daughter and they weren't complete dicks! Maybe they'll actually let us go home too! My grandpa is currently dying of cancer and maybe has a few months left..and it's the exact same with my husband's grandma too. And we haven't been home since last Christmas and we were only there then for 2 weeks so we didn't even get to see everybody. He's told 2/9 all of this and they flat out don't care! So, hopefully 3/6 will be more understanding since they know us and they know we would never lie about something like that.
Anyway, I am about to get off of here...I've got college stuff to do. By the way, I fully do not expect anyone to read this. However, on the off chance that someone does, please don't take any of what I've said the wrong way. I'm just a military wife venting about the marine corps stupidity. And please don't take any of it personally if you happen to be a marine, or even worse, in 2/9. I only speak the truth...I can't help it if they are all dicks!
