Guess I should tell you my story since I posted a lot of crap in here. Been in the Army since I was a pizza faced wet behind the ears 18 year old punk. 5 years of honorable service. Problem is they wont let me out. Problem is I was stupid enough to sign up for 5 more years. I did it for the wrong reason. Friend of mine was killed "downrange" A violent death. A horrible death I would not wish on my worst enemy. I wanted to avenge it. I wanted to go back there in an elite unit and kill as many as I could. I was emotional and not in my right mind when I decided to raise my hand again.
I’m due for airborne school Infantry school in November; off to the 82nd Airborne Division I go. I wanted to be the best of the best. Let’s just say since being back from Iraq I have had a slight change of heart followed by a stream of nightmares and a massive drinking problem, with a touch of marijuana use. The doc's call it posts traumatic stress disorder. PTSD...sounds like a freaking disease to me. Not to mention my marriage is falling apart. One thing about the army is its hell on relationships.

Anyways I digress, I made a plan, I didn’t care how I got out, as long as it was not dishonorable. I did not want to piss my last 5 years down the drain. So here is a list of things I did……

• Fighting with NCOs, Non Commissioned officers.
• DUI-fleeing the scene, totaling my car.
• Smoking green getting pissed tested days later, and miraculously passing them...eacth time...(that pissed me off the most. its almost a guarantee ticket out the Service if you fail.)
• Missing formations…(AKA for Late for work) many many times
• Missing movement (worse then being late for work much worse)


I know I am missing something. All this should result in at LEAST a bad conduct discharge. Or General Discharge General Under Honorable Conditions due to the fact I have been involved in two foreign wars.


I have tried to get fired. Maybe But they have swept each incident under the rug. DUI Dropped…Fighting, Ignored… I am needless to say exasperated. So, there is no way for me to get fired. Unless I commit a brutal crime. And that’s not going to happen.
I should steal a hot pocket….
