I'm 31. I'm so ugly I've been told I should be a Calvin Klein model. I live in a city somewhere in the middle of nowhere, on the ninth layer of hell, otherwise known as Flo-town Alabama. No, I AM NOT prejudiced. I hate all assholes equally. In late 2003 I started training at Ft Jackson, SC to go take a tour of Babylon dressed in a great little green suit that makes me invisible and, they say, is completely immune to a nuclear detonation at 100 yards. Then, in early 2004, I started AIT at Ft. Gordon, GA to fix communications equipment. After finishing distinguished honor grad late that year. I returned home to the HHC of the 115th Signal Battalion where I was stuck in a rear detachment while the rest of my unit finished thier time in Babylon. After this disillusionment (and seeing away out of the hell that is Flo-town) I transfered to active army in mid 2005 where I was told to go to S Korea and act as a speed bump for the million man chinese army should they decide they want to own that property. Currently I'm stationed at Camp Hovey in Area 1, S. Korea. Since being stationed here I've found that Korea rocks and the army sucks. It's big and therefore is subject to the law that individuals are smart but people are stupid. This means that it is necessarily bureaucratic, but it's bureaucracy is old, out dated, and dependent upon people who don't take thier job seriously as they think that since they push pencils instead of dodge bullets thier jobs aren't important enough that they have to be disciplined enough to pay close attention to it so as to be accurate, timely, and well organized. Then when you put in the egos of the individuals in charge of all this bureaucratic bullshit and their seeming stupidity and arrogance in feeling they can buck the regulations and change the system or set up their own at a whim so that a total communication and record keeping break down ensues causing a lack of efficiency that in the civilian world would not be tolerated. This in turn causes much grief for the personnel and thier families who depend upon it for such things as pay, proper medical care, proper equipment, proper training, and last but not least proper recieving of entitled benefits. This so infuriates and stresses the personnel that it forces the sensible people out because of it's stupidity leaving only the morons to get promoted and thus perpetuate the moronic lackadaisical attitude. I'll be out of Korea in 2008 as I AIP'ed in an effort to help fight this losing battle against stupidity, ineptitude, and general FUBAR'edness. Yea me. UPDATE: In August 2007 the army decided to send me to Warrior Leaders Course (WLC) formerly known as PLDC. The gayness there made me dizzy. It is a school to train soldiers to be Non- commissioned officers otherwise known as sergeants. Unfortunately like everything else in the Army lately standards have been totally thrown out the window there. There are no more academic tests just evaluations which are overseen by the instructors. If you have a good instructor who enforces a statdard then your good. If you don't then you have one who let's you slide on everything and gives away 100 on the evals so he can have the most honor grads at the end. What the hell is that? The most important school in the army even more so then basic training and they totally make it a pointless endeavor. sheesh. I'm an official member of the Digital Socio-Capitalist (DSC) party which consists of two members and growing. Our philosphy is: "If you make over $100,000 a year and can't use your money to start businesses to make jobs helping the economy and promoting technological progress (i.e. wisely) then you should be taxed til you have none in excess of what your obviously low moral character can get you in trouble with."
