Disgruntled Soldier
This week I have failed a PT test, been chastised for the cleanliness of my domicile, been used as a secretary and been placed under the charge of a new first sergeant who has apparently been condemned to life as a talking penis. The man in all seriousness has already demonstrated that he has one of the worst cases of Napoleon complex I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. I personally am almost impressed by how pathetic it really is. The whole experience has been a reminder to me of why I have ne desire to stay and make rank in this army. I know I will continue to meet this kind of person throughout life, however it will be nice to reach a place in the world where tolerating it is not mandated by the uniform code of military justice. I am reminded of why the army is required to make members sign a contract and live under a completely different set of laws than the rest of the country. If any civilian employer tried to treat its employees the way the army does it would very quickly go out of business when literally everyone quit. Whatever the disadvantages may be I can hardly wait to return to a job where it is not believed that the ability to run is a measure of leadership potential.
