2149 Whatever this crap my roomate is listening to. Had to take a drive this evening...to get beer and cigarettes. For a whiel I thought I could get away with just a drive to settle my nerves....er, no dice. I was thinking about how, for the first time, I really don't like my job. I can't imagine doing this for a living for too much longer...can't imagine doing this as a career army thing, or being a lawyer, or being a paralegal...the whole thing with punishments, courts martials, weeding out good soldiers, trying to redeem and save those who are simply faltering...it's too much right now. Big drug issue going on right now, involving NCOs and new soldiers...We had a barraks inspection today by the MPs, trying to find the goods. Five soldeirs have come forth to allege drug distribution charges against two noncomissioend officers, serious charges...I didn't get out of my greens today until after 2000. Such a lovely welcome to my new
battalion, all this shit that's going on right now.
Long day. Tommorrow is a 100% urinalysis, so it'll start early and, undoubtedly for me, end late too. *Sigh*. What's a Legal Specialist to do? I need to get out of this unit,
on to recruiting. I found out 519th isn't deploying as major
force until *next* year September..so to hell with it.
