Bump..Bump..Bump?

I got a bit of news yesterday that is not settling too well with me. I don't want to get into details about it but it has an enormous impact on my foreseeable future with the military. It all boils down to not getting everything spelled out from the very beginning.

I am finding out with the military the people you are forced to deal with on most everything is not the person who has most of the answers. An example, you go to personnel to ask a specific question that has come up. You speak to an airman who really has very little experience with anything. They attempt to answer - sometimes they are wrong and sometimes they just look at you with some sort of glazed look, but that is the only person you have to find out the information.

My recruiter told me some things and at no real fault of his own it became an error down the road. Now I must pay big time for that little error.

So, last evening I pondered on my particular situation with several adult beverages and this morning I have had a full 24 hours to take in the situation. I guess I have two choices in front of me. I can bitch and moan about it and maybe throw a bit of a temper tantrum (I am pretty good at this one). The second option is to swallow hard and get on with my life and do the absolute best job that i can.

The gut instinct is to be a total bitch, but I am attempting to grow and become a better person. It is so damn to be a better person and what is in it for me in the end?

It physically makes me hurt that i am subjected to something I believe to be totally unfair. However, I got to suck it up and look for opportunities that will benefit me more in the long run.

I am glad this did not happen on Monday and that I have an entire weekend to vent, bitch and moan before I turn up on Monday morning. I tell you it sucks to grow up!
