I just need to vent. Absolutely nothing has gone my way since I've joined the Army and I'm so frustrated right now that I could just scream!
I finally got in touch with someone today to help me get scheduled to finish Officer Basic. Here's what she wrote me, "I can't get you into OBC until January or March."
I wanted to throw the computer onto the floor and stomp on it. This comes on top of other wonderful news such as:
1) My recruiter was supposed to give me 2 forms so I can process my sign-on bonus. The bonus is only worth $30,000, so why would I want to be on top of getting it? Right? Well, she's not returning my e-mails or my phone calls. That's great, right?
2) This is the same recruiter who didn't know that I could go straight into the Nurse Anesthetist program after finishing OBC. She and the idiot before her set me back at least 2 years!
3) My contact for OBC isn't returning my e-mails either, and I can't finish my on-line training without a certificate from him. This means that I can't take leave or get a mileage pass until I've completed all of my training.
4) If I don't finish OBC before the Captain Board in December, I won't be promoted to Captain, despite the fact that I'm eligible for promotion next week.
Let's see, there are so many other things in my mind right now. I just feel like exploding.
Let's just say it's not been a good day for me. I just want to quit this crap and go back to doing what I was doing. I left 2 great jobs. My husband is having to manage the house by himself. Shadow misses me and I miss her. I'm missing out on the most beautiful time of the year at our house, missing all of my flowers. I miss my friends. I miss the flexibility I had in my jobs, allowing me to see my family members. This, pretty much, sucks and I wish I could go back and undo my decision to join the Army. I've tried to keep a positive attitude about it, but I'm finally at the end of my rope. I completely understand why people go AWOL.
I hope all of you are having a better day than I am.
