221..

I had to work hard to keep my anger at a low simmer yesterday.  Mind you I am not one who deals well with being shafted, but I have to focus on the big picture.  Breath in and breath out...if I do what I need to do than all will work out in the end.

another thing that bugs me is people who are constantly jockeying for position.  enough already!  They do this right in front of my nose! I do not get the constant need some people have to make themselves seem important.  They obviously have a need to prove something.

These things come simmering up to the surface as the reality of the military competition system comes to play. people fight for recognition and puff up their chest at every opportunity.  You are judged and ranked against one another for every possible morsel of anything and for what?  Really!  I just do not play that game.  I refuse to be one of those cut throat individuals who gladly throw a team member under the bus for a smidge of recognition. 

I work very hard to uphold the core values and no where in those values does it advocate self promotion or the cut throat attitude of the people I work with.  If the core values are not important and thing maintain as they are for my four years then I will go my own way and return to the civilian world.
