Busy Busy Busy. I've actually started to list my work load every morning. I haven't done that since I left Fort Bragg over a year ago. Usually I can keep everything straight just up in me noggin...but for fucks sake! if there isn't enough of a pile without the constant additions...leading me to:

Frustration! I learn today that one soldier "forgot" to call his lawyer for the trial defense service appointment I set up (there is no TDS on oki--everyone has to call over to korea and consult telephonically). I made another fucking apointment for him and command will probably give him another article 15 for this shit...actually, i was the one who suggested it. That kid just PISSED me the fuck off. As if I don't have enough headaches, the last thing I need is some fucking congressional inquiry or IG complaint about how his rights were violated because he "forgot" to call his damn lawyer and we went ahead with the separation anyway. Luckily enough i was able to get him in today because of a cancellation...

Then I find out yet that another of my knuckleheads (i call all the soldiers I process shit on "mine" btw. i don't actually have my own soldiers) didn't have his mental exam done like he was supposed to. I simply have no clue what happened to his supervisor with that one. So that's *another* roadblock I had to clear.

To start it all off, this morning I told my NCOIC i wasn't going to go running in rain the this morning because I had better things (i.e. important work issues) to do instead. He just about flipped his lid but i refused to back down. I mean, like I really care about my next NCOER? Al though I suppose a good report could theoretically be beneficial in a job search, i highly doubt i'd be asked to show any of them...

I ought to update my glossary for all of you non military minded people...

Anyways...i finish up all my research and preparation for this deployment brief I thought i was supposed to give today...turns out the damn thing is tomorrow.

Aye yi yi!

And I just know I am going to basically do the entire writeup on this LOD...because the fucking IO is deployed and the ADJ is too busy to read the reg and do everything for him. 

The CSM has got me on an impossible goosechase and he's really not going to enjoy it when I tell him he can't do what he wants to do. SF Sergeant Majors in, I have noticed, really *hate* being told they can't do something and they have a real problem just accepting it too.

and yes I know, i swear too much for polite fucking circles.
