In the military, if you don’t make promotion lists at certain junctures in your career, you’re done. Whether or not you make said list depends on your boss’s completely subjective assessment of your performance. My boss was a toxic diversity hire and I knew from the day he took command that it was going to be a rough time for the unit so getting a pair of negative evals from him was kind of like having Paul Ryan tell you that you’re a failure.
I thought I’d be more angry or sad or something but truth be told I’m mostly just relieved. I didn’t want to fight for this new president or this congress and I don’t want to watch the organization I’ve devoted tens of thousands of hours of my life to slowly fall apart over the next decade and now I won’t have to.
So I guess I’ll just take my four deployments worth of combat experience, go back home, play with my kids and wait... for something.
those junctures are very long, if you're getting kicked out for that it's a problem with you, not your most recent command. I think its like 10 years to make E5, and 20 years to make E7. If you can't make it in that time the army isn't for you. Also you deployed 4 times and still couldn't make it, bet you're a fobbit
Hi Paul, it’s cute that your wife lets you play on her phone while you’re in the car outside her boyfriend’s house. I’ve never heard anyone who wasn’t a POG actually say fobbit before.
Let me guess you're a 10 year E-4, fat as fuck, been on profile longer then off, think rank should be given instead of earned.
Your on the internet whining about getting kicked out the military for being shit, no amount of insult is going to change how pathetic this post is. Your commander should get a excellent bullet on his next OER for getting rid of you.
