I thought I was simply getting chaptered without having to deal with anything else. However today I was read the first part of a field grade Article 15. Not sure what too expect. Could just be a formality in the chapter or give me a chance to argue my case. I am very unfamiliar with these proceedings its hard to say.

I am hoping its not just a method to further humiliate me, or try and take more money. I have maxed out my credit cards and have a negative balance of $400 in my checking. Even a single rank reduction would be a significant reduction in my already low pay.

I am now going around the house finding stuff I no longer need and looking at putting them on eBay. I have so much negative equity on my car that I can’t even sell it. I have full collision and gap coverage so economically the best thing would be to total it. I just don’t want to be in my car when it gets totaled.

Right now its one thing after another and I am beginning to welcome the fact of leaving the Army more and more, simply because I want to have control over my life again.
