Nothing makes your life more miserable in the Army than running into someone that outranks you that is on a power trip. Today is just one of those days. And what makes it even worse is I would be the same rank as her as of the 1st of this month if only she had her paperwork (that no one else knows better) squared away. I have been to the range, have pictures on this website of me at the range on more than one occasion. However the only card she has on file for me is dated July 2004. And she doesn’t even catch it until I re-submit my promotion packet for the 4th time. I was suppose to go the first week of Feburary.
OK, here is the story.
I went into her office today cause my 1SG wants me to get a copy of everyones files in our office. Makes sense, the two offices are basically in different buildings. Her 1SG told her that this is not an option or at least we think. I told her half of what I meant to say and she immediatly called her 1SG like there was an outbreak of the plague in the office. Then when she was on the phone with him he started yelling at her and as soon as he did this she took the phone away from her head and shoving it in everyones face in the room asking “can you hear him? can you hear this?” “he is yelling, what do you think the answer is?” All that is running through my head is, “I don’t know sarn’t I can’t hear him with my nose, maybe you should listen to him”. So after I finish my question by asking “What about these files?” and she without a breath calls him back and goes over the same shit all over again.
In between all this she is talking with the supply SGT and trying to figure out what a power supply for a SINGARS radio looks like. I could of sworn we were in a signal unit and that the entire Army uses this kind of radio, and she doesn’t even know how to power it up? And then after all of this she belittles all of us in the other orderly room by saying how inexperienced we are and that we don’t need anything we are asking for anyway. Funny, yesterday I remember he leaving an original sensitive document in the copy machine along with the copy she made and the office next to hers picked it up. It took her 3 hours to track it down and get it too us. We got it 5 minutes before we were done for the day making it immposible to get anything we needed to do done with it. The documents we want copies of…, are just like the one that she lost and misplaced, for people we are responsible for, and give us a reason to stay out of that office and away from her.
Maybe I don’t know exactly what I am doing in the orderly room yet, but today was my third day. How many years of incompetance does it take to show that much disrespect to your 1SG that you work with everyday in front of everyone, and then not know what the power supply for the primary radio’s that we use everywhere in the army? She’s been here her entire career and they can’t keep her in the orderly room longer than 6 months, and we use to have one of these radios at every CQ and have to make hourly checks with it.
I just hate stupid people. And this one SGT who is worthless as shit, is someone I have to deal with on a daily basis now. The most humorous part of today was when I left she said that its not her fault, and that she doesn’t understand why we always go back complaining and saying it is her. Um…, if you know we do that sarn’t maybe its cause we don’t like you, and have reason why.
(Cut off is 431 this month and I have that before the 150 for the board, would be pinned monday if this bitch didn’t keep fucking up.)(Meaning I would be the same rank as her starting April 1st, but she fucked up my paperwork and screwed me out of the promotion) Makes me madest of all.
