Kalshion Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Man.. this must be the year of bad things Anyway My brother and sister had everything planned for coming down here, tickets all set, plan's made Oh wait.. the military needs her for something MORE important than spending time with her family after having been deployed for FOUR YEARS STRAIGHT!! She JUST got back for christ sake!! God... now our plans are ruined... we had plans on taking my sister out and celebrating her birthday (her birthday would fall during the time she was here) but now thats not possible And from what she has said, she'll be deployed for at least a year or two now!! God... ... (insert words not suitable for children, heck insert words not suitable for ANY age group) Man I am SO mad right now.... my sister and I where going to go out for at least a week to spend some brother and sister time together.. but NOW that isn't possible.. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
DennyMala Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Sorry for that KAL. There is little I can say about it...life can be so unfair at times...
Wolferz Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Sheesh, looks like military service has become military slavery. Maybe it's time to send a letter of complaint to your Congress critter.
Kalshion Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Posted June 3, 2006 You don't know how many letters I've sent to the Congress over the past few years My sister is already mad about the marine trials, in fact, that's after what she said, I highly doubt she'll be re-enlisting when her term is up
Marvin Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 What amazes me is that sooooo many people didn't see this coming. And those who did, and complained, were ridden out of town on a rail.
Kalshion Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Posted June 3, 2006 I hear ya Marvin My sister won't be re-enlisting from what shes just said a few minutes ago "It's hard for a military man to do his job when you've got people who don't understand the meaning of 'battle' or 'war' and realize that lives will indeed be lost, weather it be civilian or military, war is not preatty and war is not fair" As much as I want her to stay in the military because it's very good money, I also want her out of the military because after two years they've kept on saying 'no' to her leave, then they finally say 'yes' two weeks and then just yesterday they 'cancel' it again.. she's REALLY fed up with this crap... And here I wanted to be a soldier... god... how stupid was I *shakes head*
Kalshion Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Posted June 6, 2006 Military does strange things They just CANCELED her deployment so now she's back on leave and will be coming down in two weeks I'm a very happy commander now

Leave is a little more important when you've been overseas for a while; 4 years is a looonnnnggg time. Honestly, I'd be skeptical about sending troops who've been overseas for 4 years straight back into action so swiftly. I'm sure the commanders were as well. Good news Kal.
DennyMala Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Very nice news Kal. Enjoy your time at the best.

Glad to hear it, Kal. Assume another deployment is somewhere down the pike and take advantage of her time off. Treat her to a soda at the malt shop. And a steak dinner. But steer clear of the casino buffets.

I mean, this is the military - under George W. Bush and his band of merry men - we're talking about. Next thing you know, she'll be off to Korea shuttling rubber dog shit to the North....or was that the South. Its getting so fracking hard to keep track of our friends and enemies these days.
Kalshion Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 Ahhh! Now your ruining my moment SC! But, saddly you are right. This IS the military we are talking about and with the current state of affairs, it's quite possible But I'm praying it doesn't happen
