Last night I was a little more tired than usual, and passed out on the couch in the living room. Which my wife woke me up at 6:30am, the exact time in which I needed to be at PT. Seeing it takes me about 20-45 minutes to get to work depending on the traffic I knew any effort I made at this point wouldn’t help at all. I fucked up and knew that they were going to take the punishment that was suspended from the article 15 on monday and reduce me at least one rank and take half a months pay. Which also meant that I officially no longer get a paycheck from the Army.

I am working for free now. My paycheck on Friday will be $304. At $5 an hour thats a 30 hour work week. McDonalds pays $7.25 here and I know I can get more than 30 hours (probably 38-39). So now I am faced with the decision that it would be financially smarter to go AWOL (they are chaptering me out of the Army anyway) and go work at McDonalds. I don’t think I could be sorrier of a person. A step up is McDonald’s? That’s pretty bad.

Which I am certian they will take one rank as well as the suspended rank so the good news is I don’t have to wear any rank now. Which is the worse part out of all of this.

The thing that gets me the most is I have seen lots of people in this unit do worse and go unpunished. Some even promoted. I build a website and get damned to hell.
