FUN TIME NAVY STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!
Be forwarned the following spoiler contains a large amount of ranting, venting and other forms of profanity. To make a long story short OP-HELD (my transfer has been delayed by 2 months)
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
So like the good corpsman I am I've spent the last two months getting ready for Field Medical Service School (FMSS) with the Marine Corps. This has not been an easy task, it originally started out with me really watching my diet and excercising more and has progressed into something that is almost fanatical. I've been hitting the gym 3 times a day, 2 cardio sessions and one weight training session. My cardio sessions started out with a 500 calorie goal for the day and have escalated to 1250+ per session. I need to be ready to keep up with kids 1/2 my age (36 / 2 = 18 ok I'm not 36 yet but I am close enough that I would have turned 36 in the middle of school. Key word here is would. I really don't get it, I have been doing everything that I am supposed to do to transfer, I've turned over the majority of my duties already and I'm in the process of making sure that the ones that I have left the person assuming the duty is up to speed. Seeing that this is a some what adult site
I have no problem saying that the cock sucking mother fuckers that like to move people around like pathetic pawns on a chess board (or pieces in the game Risk) have really pissed me off. I was supposed to report to FMSS on the 7th of May, well that's not going to happen. The Navy (and the rest of the armed services) refer to it as Op-Held, this essentially means that I have been put into a holding pattern and won't transfer out of this fucking burned out inbred tweaker town until July. Thats right 2 extra months in this shit hole. Their reasoning behind it is that since we have a civilian that will retire this Friday in the supply dept. and I would be transfering in a month they would be left with an idiot that would screw everything up. Not my problem, I could have told them this when I was moved from our primary care dept. and he was given it to manage (he got fired for being incompitent), and now once again he has been given my old job to turn into another fuck up. I totally know that this guy is going to screw the pooch on this one too. He can't even remember how to do the simplest tasks without refering to either a Navy or Marine Corps instructional manual. The best part of this is that 98% of my old job doesn't have an instructional manual, so he's got 4 or 5 of these little note books with scribble on how to do every little thing with no rhyme or reason to them and he can't even read his own writing 75% of the time.
Now I was supposed to graduate from FMSS around the end of June now its the end of August. My wife whitewidow was going to finally be able to join me down here in the states and we could actually start our lives together, now I have no idea what we are going to do. Housing has become a concern since I found a nice little passage in the housing instruction stating our piggies wouldn't be allowed. I am starting to think that the command survey that I filled out has gotten me in trouble even though it was supposed to be anonymous. I didn't hold back and put it all on the line in 2 sentances in what would have taken most people several pages of ranting to cover. Here is what I said in so many words: "All I can say is that I am very glad that I will be leaving this command shortly. I am sure that any of my fellow co-workers that provide negative feedback will cover anything that I would have had to say." Now I want to submit another one simply stating that anyone that is involved in any kind of higher function of management can go fuck themselves. I'm just glad that I was able to go to the gym this afternoon and picture everyone I could think of that had anything to do with this in my head and focus my anger on pushing weight. I feel better but I'm still pretty pissed off. Topping everything off I found out that rather that being rated with a transfer evaluation (usually carries very high marks) I am being transfered with a regular evaluation. My evaluation wasn't bad especially since it was my first one as a second class and they want to leave room for improvement. I have a little over 1 point left for improvement and concidering that this is what I came out with competing against not only the second classes at the clinic that are way senior to me but all the ones down in 29 Palms its really good. However it won't look good to carry that mark when I transfer since I would not be going against anyone else as far as competition when I transfer. I should get 5 out of 5 points and not a 3.98. I know that this piece of shit can't make chief is afraid she will get kicked out if she doesn't pass the next physical testing cycle so she has to get a waiver first class has a lot to do with this. As of right now she's pretty pissed that I've been given full control of my schedule and I can pretty much tell anyone lower then my chief to go fuck off and if they have a problem with it to go talk to our Commanding Officer (CO) and I am sure that rather then change a couple marks and make a few changes on the dates and other minor things whe went through a huge amount of paperwork and trouble to not have to submit a transfer evaluation. I'm going to talk to my chief about this one tomorrow, I should be leaving this place not only with a top rated evaluation but an award for the amount of things that I have unfucked. I'm going to have to be careful when I say that this place makes me want to find a clock tower and a high powered rifle, or I'd rather shove a pencil in my eye.... last time I said something like this I was told that I had to go to a manditory evaluation to determine if I needed to go see a psycologist. Stupid bitch mentioned above was the one that overheard it and blew it all out of proportion, she made it seem like I was actually planning on finding a elevated location and smuggling a high powered weapon onto base to take some people out. Talk about taking things out of context, hell I was going after a position that required a manditory psych evaluation prior to getting here and the Doc said that I was more together then most "normal" people he knew. Whatever. I think that I have ranted a bit too long and I really wish that I had something better to say today so I'm sorry if you went through and read everything that I put down.


And to top it all off this whole Iran thing has me more then a little worried.

I know it's too early to say, but now what? I mean for you and your wifey? She sticking it out at her rents house a few months longer, or try to get down there for a few months to be with you before you go?
Man, this sucks. Remember, hold your tongue. Don't tell them you're going to the bell tower, just go!
