This just in...military

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (raveracer77)]

    Here's a bad sign, I have 716 days left in this enlistment.  If you were Air Force then you have nothing to worry about.  They're trying to trim us down another 40,000 this year alone.  I've been hearing it for the last two years, "you'll be a lifer, they always planned on getting out but they always stay.  It's the ones who don't know who get out".  BULLSHIT!  My motto once I got to Keesler was "4 and out".  Then I moved to Holloman and three weeks later Katrina cleaned house over there.  I've never worked for any organization that was as disorganized, unmotivated, unprofessional and as full of Nerds as the Air Force, though I fit right in with the Nerds.  I find myself some days saying I should have joined the Army.... then I beat myself with as big of a stick as I can find for thinking it, then I remind myself how many more days I have to go.  So for those of you who are thinking of rejoining, think back to how it was when you were in and try to remember, the grass only LOOKS greener.  When I got to that fence I said "God Damn that's some brown grass, well at least they'll have low expectations".

    Slummin' it in the Air Force for 716 more days, two weeks before the F-22 arrives and I'm so glad I won't be a part of that cluster &^*$

  After spending only four years in the military (decades ago), I sometimes experience nightmares...literally...about having to go back in.  Don't get me wrong; those four years were the most care-free of my life, with challenges aplenty (both in my job and in circumventing the military rules/regulations), but I'd never, ever, EVAR consider re-upping.  
    (As my old Shop Chief said, at my last annual re-enlistment interview, " SSgt. Fry, you just aren't suitable military material."   :)   He was SO right. )

    I know the feeling, but go back? Are you fracking crazy?  I've spent the last year seeing the unbelievably shitty side of the
    military.
