"Teach us to number our days"- For someone to whom it is SO important to make every day count, you can imagine my frustration. We had to load busses this a.m. at 0530 to do our medical processing. We were done, FOR THE DAY, at 0800. The only thing standing between me and leaving is:
having the dentist admire my teeth
processing my discharge form and reviewing my SGLI and Emergency Contact data
getting my amended orders
All of that could be done, with efficiency, in less than two hours.
I find it, frankly, criminal, that the time of so many people was wasted in this way.
I have made my own flight arrangements for tomorrow eve. and called a shuttle to the airport.
Dental is in the a.m. and the paperwork is scheduled at 1:00.
I have to be ready for the shuttle at 2:15; I plan to pull rank and put myself at the front of the paperwork line and ask for an individual ride back to the CRC site to catch the shuttle. Flight leaves at 6:58; my backup is the last flight out, departing at 9:15 tomorrow night.
If the orders don't come through I'll need suicide counseling.
Funny moment of the day- waiting for a ride back after medical, standing with 3 guys. One pulls out a box of cereal from his side pocket, and the other teases him- you're back in the U.S. where food is available, you don't have to be storing it anymore! Then me and the 4th guy each pulled apples out of our pockets!
