I AM AWESOME

Caution, adults only.

Well our moronic and incompetent command has proved me right once again. Yes these horrible wastes of the term “soldier” ,“human”, “leader” well they have all been removed of their positions due to various forms of retardation. In blog posts past I have made reference to our company commander our company first sergeant and our company truck master. Well these three mounds of shit are no longer in charge. People are actually happy in the company now.
I called it, I told you so, I was so right its not funny. If your looking in the history for my past blog posts, well from random demeaning comments I deleted the posts. If you don’t agree, that’s fine but don’t attack without giving me a chance to confront you.

Anyway, our horrible piece of shit ex truck master… we he did something that no man, regardless of affiliation with the armed services or not, should do. We all knew he was a big pile of dog shit, he was a bully who used his rank and his intimidating demeanor to push people into bad decisions and to keep anyone, who had a opinion other than his, quiet. He was horrible back when we were in the states, he was an alcoholic, our commander knew this. This truck master has had multiple DUI’s, but yet our genius commander still thought he would be a good choice for one of the most important positions in the company.
That just proves how stupid our company commander really is. Well thank god our ex truck master was removed, he wasn’t just removed from his position for his despicable action he was moved to a whole other base here in Iraq. Oh and to further prove how bad our commander was he still saw fit to give this truck master, this worst excuse for a human, a decent…… no no a wonderful NCOER, or in civilian talk yearly review.

Our company first sergeant after a career spanning over 20 years in the military, both Marine Corps and ARMY, well he thought he was above the law and tried to smuggle a partial IED home in his footlocker. Oh that’s not the best part, he was a party to well over thousands of dollars of stolen/embezzled funds in the form of government property. He figured, and we all know this, that if he could get it, it was his. He did this with another NCO, acquiring, that’s ARMY for stealing, anything and everything justifying himself by saying it was “for the soldiers.” This person, just flat out thought his rank would shield him from any regulations or consequences. Guess he was wrong. I called him moronic before. WOW I am better than I thought I was. For those of you who lack sufficient intelligence, im speaking to anyone that doesn’t know what a moron is…. My commander…… it is a offensive term that insults someone’s intelligence, or is in reference to their impaired social skills. I would say believing that the law doesn’t apply to you makes you a moron.

Now to our wonderful commander. Well first lets paint an accurate picture of the formerly highest ranking person in this unit. He is my hight, bald, shuffles his feet cause I assume he is to damn gay or lazy to pick up his damn feet, he has what I guess are ticks cause he BARKS LIKE A DOG. No shit, he barks when he is nervous. I can just see him now sitting in his room all alone, barking up a fucking storm. He must be driving the stray dogs wild. Im not being mean, ask anyone, this guy, the leader that should be inspiring us to be better leaders and the one who has the final say in all decisions, well when things get rough, he sounds like a damn pet store. I cant tell you how unnerving it is to be sitting at a desk working or reading something and you hear this shuffling……. And then…. AARFF…. This guy also just gives off a weird vibe. You know that vibe you get from the creepy guy staring at you in the store. Yeah this is that guy. Well he has been removed for EO complaints…… and what we believe to be many other things. I mean he should go down for how crappy of a commander he was, but sadly there isn’t a law against incompetence. Now EO complaints, you are wondering what those are? Well this guy likes to make weird comments about sex and women and sexual topics in the presence of anyone. One would think a high ranking officer would understand the use of tact, and the rules and lines that limit and regulate sexual harassment and. I mean the ARMY has mandatory briefings every year. This guy saw fit to bring up sex around women, around lower enlisted soldiers. He is a sad excuse for a commander. Oh one of the best parts is the fact that he really doesn’t think he has done anything wrong! This asshole who has had many investigations involving him, has had many EO complaints listing him, has had tons of people trying to explain to him how inappropriate his comments are and how stunted, retarded, lacking his judgment is, HE THINKS HE IS RIGHT IN WHAT HE DOES.


WELL I called it, early on in this deployment I called for the removal of these idiots, these poor choices for leaders, these inferior, faulty, defective, substandard, and oh yes abysmal human beings, and it finally happened. Its interesting to see how people have responded to the elimination of these leeches on our company. People are walking around smiling, they seem happy and vibrant and upbeat. I cant say I like this unit as a whole, I think there are some core issues that plague this unit. Every unit has issues but some foster and breed inferior leaders such as these.
The soldiers of the 353rd Trans Co. have done an amazing job and I commend them. The soldiers had nothing to do with the career ending problems that the command has created for themselves.

I TOLD YOU SO! If people would just shut the hell up and listen to me the world would be a better place. Oh yeah Captain R.,SFC P., 1ST Sergeant T. if your reading this and I hope you are.

Mail

Ok well blog readers, if you have been sending mail via postcards or packages, June 1st is the stopping day. Yes the wonderful day is finally upon us. I love all the postcards I get and the packages from the school, and boy scout troops, and Blue Star Mothers and my family, they have made a huge difference in this deployment.

Please pass on this information as I know some people who do not read this blog, send postcards and packages. Please let everyone know that the letters and postcards will all be coming home with me. I have sent the letters and address labels from many people home already. I plan on carrying the postcards home with me on the plane.
Thank you again to everyone that has supported me from the very beginning to now.

Planning ahead

Ok so im sorry i havent posted in a while, things here have been blah and pretty negative and im not gonna post about that here. I want to keep myself upbeat and posting about all the major problems my unit is having will not do that. SO looking forward to coming home. As my close friends and family know i will be adding a deck to my house as soon as i get home. I put out the call now to all those manly friends and family memebers who would like to help in this adventure to be ready and able. Not to say our womanly friends and family arent more than invited to participate. Sorry if that sounded bad. I hope to be home during the last week in July so this is when i plan on doing material purchasing. The first weekend in August is when the deck goes up..... unless im not back yet. Either way come rain or snow or howling winds that deck goes up. I have a design picked out and I have sent it to my father. I am going to post a link to it here now so if you want to get a picture for yourself you can. http://www.decks.com/deckplans/deckplandetails.aspx?plan=2L084&page=2

What I will need is a few experts at woodwork for this. I wont rely on you to do the whole deck but to advise and direct the hands that will be ready. I want to be involved even though i know im a novice when it comes to carpentry. If tools are need, I can get them, if extra lumber is needed just let me know. I am hoping to have about 5-7 guys/girls able to help, it will be more than a one day build so all 5-7 are not needed on the first day but the second day all hands on deck are called for. If you can, go to the link to see what im envisioning. I want to keep the deck low to the ground and with no railing. I want to keep the feel of openess. I want the off shoot that shows the grill to run right up against the house and come out about 6-7 feet. I plan to put a new stainless steel grill there. I havent decided on wood choices yet. Any suggestions. Please save the dates and be ready to work. If its coming home party or this i would rather have people able to help with the deck. Its something that will make my summers end at home much more enjoyable.

The fence around the carport will be finished so no worries about kids running around in the street and chasing after them. I will provide food each day and beer after each days work. Yes thats free food and free beer.................. now your ready to work arnt you. Any relatives that would like to come into town for a weekend and see the boys and help out you are more than welcome. This will be the weekend to do it.

Thanks again to everyone for everything. I will post more as time permits.

My boys are the best.

Roman moved up to a big bed, and Shamus learned to climb out of his crib, almost at the same time. The boys are closer now than ever. I think Shamus is making his case for a big bed of his own. Let me know what you think? If anyone has a twin bed they want to get rid of let us know.

Marissa Update

So Jessica informed me that Marissa got all good marks. Also since i was home she has had all green days except one. Now for those that arent familiar with todays classroom system green means the child had a good day, yellow means some minor issues and so on down the line. This is a great job for Marissa. She had been having trouble adjusting to a new school every year. This improvment is something I am excited to hear about. Marissa has lots of energy and I am very proud to see how well she is starting to perform in school. For the family that is lucky enough to see Marissa please make sure to mention to her about how well she is doing in school. When i was home on leave she was very proud each day to tell me that she had a green day and tell me how good she had been. Its actually makes me emotional thinking of how well she is doing. I wish everyone could she her scamper down the street to the bus stop each morning. She has so much life in her, its amazing to see her so happy now. Marissa has many friends at school but her best friend is a little girl named Naydia or something like that, i cant spell, sorry.

Well if anyone deserves a great birthday it is Marissa, she has really stepped up her game since i came home and I can only hope things continue. Please remember to send your love and well wishes as our little girl turns 7.

And remember to mention how well she is doing in school, I am just beaming with pride. I know how bad i was sometimes at that age and I can remember having all that energy and sometimes not knowing how to control it all. Marissa has made me so proud, I am counting on everyone who reads this blog to be my arms and voice to hug her tight and tell her how good of a job she is doing.
Thanks

Happy Birthday Marissa

So Today is Marissa's birthday. She is 7. If you get a chance or have a second please call or write Jessica and wish Marissa happy birthday. She is such a wonderful young lady. I am very proud of her. She is reading so well. Marissa is growing up way too fast for me. I can remember when she was a hyped up little 4 year old running around outside on her power wheel. Marissa loves to read and loves to read to people. If you ever get a chance to watch the kids, ask Marissa to read to you. Im sure you will be as awestruck as I was. Marissa loves Hannah Montana and cool clothes. She seems to be 7 going on 17 but I understand she is just growing up. Marissa is having a Birthday party coming up and if anyone would like to send anything or attend please contact Jessica or myself via email and we will get you the details.

Happy Birthday Marissa. I miss you very much.

Packages

Ok so its the time when we start packing and preparing things for the long trip home. yes i know I still have months to go but we are packing what we can in prep for all the small moves we make to get ready for the big move. If you were preparing a package I am sorry, but please dont send it. Unless its something i can eat like tuna, we just wont have room and will end up throwing it out. Sending items that you want me to have or anything else besides postcards is something i have to ask you the wonderful people who supported me, to stop. I cant bring everything home and sending all the items home by mail is quite costly. I have more than enough and that which i cant use or eat is being shared with all the soldiers of the 353rd.

Thank you to everyone who sent anything. Keep the post cards comeing. They are great.
