The Untimely Death of a Storied Career

Hey troops!

The Lt crawled out from under his rock! I was hiding out for a bit and 'playing nice' imagine that.

But...here we go again...same old shit again...

So, my shitstain Commander in Chief fires a 'can do' guy...General Mac was a 'doer' a true patriot who belived in the cause, and was the squeaky wheel....often ( and yes, they usually get greased...) Assbama, who cant even begin to understand the mindset of his warriors that defend the now Marxist States of America, is quite frankly a shitstain on the face of this earth...the LT has no ambition to do his bidding anymore...

Rule #1: and this is hard/fast, NEVER trust a journalist...EVER... unless he is lying in a pool of blood...and then only MAYBE!!

Hitler fired many of his great generals too...am I drawing any likenesses??? No. Hitler was an insane phsychopath, Obama is just a stupid Marxist asswipe politician...

The similarities I am drawing is that they both managed the most phenominal armies in history...The 'Heer' was epic in training and execution, a real professional force that our own army draws from even to this day...our force, which I believe is the strongest fielded force in todays world is also steadfast in its execution and delivery.

Unfortunately, assanine political leadership often staves military success...and thats my point.

Lets hope we can reach for some successes out of this abyss, as I think the overall scheme of this war will end up a draw...my fellow soldiers cannot die in vain...and thats what I want to safeguard. This so called president needs to man up as well and 'build the force' we all know his general disdain for anything military, but hopefully we can hold on for 2 more years and damage control the situation until then.

As an officer in the US Army, I have no problem voicing the truth...it needs to be heard and as I have always stated: Fire me if you dont like it!! but I will speak when warranted...period.

Maybe Gen Mac and I can write a book together...LOL!

The machine will grind on...and I will attempt tolerance, but, no guarantees...

I am with my soldiers, for my soldiers and dedicated to my soldiers above all, someone else can worry about the 'big picture'

The 'Rant' That Will Not Occur !...

The LT's Easter Edition...

BN Commander has ordered me to cease all communication with HRC St Louis until he gets some 'face time' with me...which most likely means a stellar ass reaming at Weapons Qual next weekend...Hmmmm

Yes, the LT has hit critical mass with good old HRC and all of their fucked up bullshit policy for officers, not to mention the complete fucktards that occupy desks there. I had some great satisfying heated exchanges with HRC personnel this week...guess I may have stepped on too many dicks though! I never quite know where that line is, LOL...

Any who... My favorite holiday of all is here! Easter...which not only signifies the resurrection of Christ but the resurrection of life in general, the weather is getting very nice! life is everywhere!

and I am in very good spirits this week... I am truly thankful for all that I have, my beautiful wife and kids, my career and all family and friends that so graciously put up with my shit week after week and never hold my dumbass take on things against me!!!

Yes, I could rant for pages on the 'Army of None' but nope, I will not go there...until next weekend when I am at range and God forbid it rains (which it always does)...that will bring on an extra special bitch session and likely increase my Xanax intake...BUT...at least I will be able to put rounds down range...that always makes it better! I will not pay for MRE's or any other meals as the CO dictated last drill (I have never paid for a meal yet downrange), I still have awesome connections to the 'Spec Four Mafia'...they take good care of the LT...

Oh, yeah...have a Company conference call at 7 tonight...sorry I will miss it... sue me...

On a High Note !

Happy Easter and bless you and yours...remember live for those kids and your significant other...thats all that really matters!

The Downfall...

I am politically pissed off today...

Shitbama and his smug look...getting over on the American people with his bogus, fat, bought and never to be paid for health care bill...

I have started to read Lenin, I figure that will be mandatory reading in this country soon enough anyway.

Good old Obama...how was he elected anyway? Ahhh yes by the fucking idiots in this country that equate voting for a leader of this country with American Idol...stupid uninformed morons should never have the right to vote anyhow...This guy can talk and now he can actually deliver! Debt that is...A crooked Chicago politician that has done really nothing?!?...he talks a lot...people are not buying anymore though...

As an officer in the US Army I am supposed keep my views to myself, to not offer opinions one way or another...blah blah blah....BULLSHIT, I think I still have a fundemental right to speak my mind, This attitude got me in trouble with 'Life as a Citizen Soldier', but I refuse to be held down. Hajbama is burying this country in debt further every day that passes by, and I for one have a huge problem with paying the way for others...Trillions and Trillions I say...keep the presses rolling, we need more and more worthless paper money...Ahhhh lets spend it all!!!

Comrade Barrack needs only green tights and a goofy hat to pull off taking from the ones who earn and giving to the couch mongers, How are we really different from France, Germany, Great Britain etc...we are not...the government has become a huge elephant in the room...it wants EVERYTHING!

So you say, Is the LT a racist? Absolutely not. I hate all asshole politicians equally! They are bought faster than I drink a beer on a Friday night, they love their 'back room deals' for votes and continue to steal the taxpayer blind...trust NO ONE in this administration...and you must not use violence and threats to fight this...that is reminiscent of Germany 1933ish... GET SMART AND VOTE! vote the stupid and senseless out! send the message that this country does in fact belong to the people.

I and my fellow soldiers defend only the constitution of the United States, Yes, in theory this asswipe is my commander in chief, and it is appalling to me that he can actually direct forces into harms way...not that he is all about that, we fight "politically Correct" wars now...

When this great country uses force it should be swift, with extreme prejudice and decisive beyond doubt...and then we leave?, see ya, figure it out, BUH BYE...You never ever get respect by kissing ass...figure it out.

I am scared for my children...we are staggering down a wicked path that will lead to certain reprocussions not yet known...

Stay Informed People, or risk losing ALL of your freedoms...

A Day of Reflecting and Remembering...(Stuck in the Past Today)...UGH

Yes its Wednesday...it feels more like Monday...

I woke this morning with the vision of being at my Uncles funeral in January rendering the final salute at his grave site...I miss him today, I really wish we got to hit the road liked we talked of before he died...you always think you have so much time to fit these things in...

We were going to 'road trip' to route 66 out west and just hang out...like the movies and such, although without the police chases and fugitive crap! LOL... I couldnt promise that I would refrain from smoking a fat one watching a beautiful sunset though...we would have had a good time! Just to do 'one more' hockey game, trip to Ideal Hotdog or a movie...or something...

I also miss my sister today...hard to believe that she passed over 4 years ago...between her and my uncle they were the real 'constants' in my life growing up...and I wish I would have done sooooo much more with them both...I guess we just cant go back...

I also carry the regret daily of not being a larger part of 'C's' life, my 18 year old son...what his stupid bitch mother doesnt realize is that nary a day went by when I didnt think of him, how he was...if he was safe...if he was happy. The farther time went on the harder it became to 'chase' this relationship...deep down I knew he was 'in good hands' and had loving people around him.

I dont have many 'do overs' left...my life, and the difficulties that I made for myself throughout the years have aged me in certain ways...The lines on my face, the people that I have hurt...all of that is real...I feel it every day...I am aware of who I am and what I have done...God can judge me on that...

My biggest accomplishment is putting my family and my life back together in the past 2+ years, yeah...that was hard...gaining trust back and all that...the love for my wife Debbie was easy...I never stopped loving her even in my darkest hours...I love my kids and my 'miracle baby' Sarah Grace has helped put my family back together better than I ever imagined! This was the BIG do over! and I have done it right...Debbie and I have a relationship that I feel is so much stronger than before those dark times...

I dont know what brought on those dark times over 3 years ago...I just snapped...reality wasnt getting it done and the destructive behavier began in earnest...I still am so anxiety ridden over those days that I take Lexapro and Xanax to even myself out...I hate myself for what I did to my family then...what I did to Debbie and Robbie...

I vowed to myself when I wanted to fix all of this to do it right and never deviate again...I have been letter perfect...I thank God every day for what I have...every day...I am proud of that! I love my wife and kids beyond belief...

The other 'good' things were checklist items...I admit, though I will always deny that fact from here on...LOL...
Graduating from college...check, honors in Engineering...check!!
Return to the Army after a 16 year break in service...check, being a commissioned officer on top of that...check!!
I admit, I was not a stellar troop the first time around, sue me, I was fucking 20 in the boring ass peacetime Army...and if you think the Army is fucked up now...you dont even know...peacetime Army=ULTRASUCK!

So where am I going with all of this??? Just venting and reflecting...missing some key people in my life who have passed on...regretting missing out on some other things...the clock never stops for you, me or anyone else...never...

Dont put off until tomorrow what you can get done today...smile! show respect! tell your Mom or whoever, that you love them...take your Dad to dinner...hug your kid(s)...Take nothing for granted! Appreciate what you have and be thankful to 'feel'...

Need to work out later and let some of this out of my body...I hate being eaten by 'what if's'

Later Troopies...

Another 'Epic' Drill Weekend...Sarcasm Intended !

So...

No Shit, There I Was...

At Drill This Weekend,

Dealing with the "critical mass stupidity" of the machine...The troopies seemed a bit more ate the fuck up than usual...hmmmm, still trying to figure that out, also watching 'higher' fuck with good troops all while leaving the shitbags alone...

Got my ass in a jam with higher over my last blog, "Life as a Citizen Soldier", seems leadership really has no taste for the truth, I mean what can they do? demote me to 3rd LT? LOL!

The CO gave me his usual ass reaming, "you need to have more patience and tolerance" yeah... I will get right on that...

As said in my previous blog, I Deviated from the Plan. Plain and Simple, couldnt come back in, get my 5 back and get to theater...noooo, I had to go officer...prestige, respect and pride...(I am laughing!). Ahhh whatever I guess...

Got my new HUM at the unit this weekend! Its the officer model (not uparmored)...360 miles on it and man is it nice, they wont even let it go to range (weapons qual) next month! still wondering why on that one...Speaking of range next month, the new dumbass 'no POV rule' is now in effect, this is assanine and pretty much ends my ADVON days from here on out...

I am seriously looking at the 412th CA unit here in Columbus, way...no, WAY high speed unit, ABN/Spec Op designater, and most of our BN's truly good officers all are now in this unit chillin with their maroon berets...including Luke, a good friend of mine (Captain), he swears my attitude would improve greatly getting to a truly great BN and not douchbag suck central that I am in now...we shall see.

Who knows...lately I find more negative than positive with the machine, maybe its age, I mean I have now been back in for 4 years, I have accomplished all but the 'holy patch' and that gets less and less important to me with every passing day...I have a great civilian career and a wonderful loving family that I thank God for every day...

Maybe thats just enough?!

More to follow my fellow bloggers...

Scouts!

The Reasons That Be....

Good Afternoon troopies...

The LT is indeed back and fired up...I removed my original blog 'Life as a citizen Soldier' that was dedicated to 2 things...the love for my family and a venting post for what is so fucked with the machine (US Army).

After a jealous profanity laced idiotic email from my long since ex (1st) wife, aka WT (you figure it out)...You must know that she is a godless Wican bitch who has raised our son 'C' who is now 18 and graduating from high school this May, yes the LT dropped the ball extensively on this one as I have not had hardly any contact with 'C' in 18 years...the ex and her husband HF (hero fobbit) an E-5 in the active army have pretty much done a fine job in raising 'C'...until now...he is graduating from HS as stated and is by all accounts VERY bright...he wasnt really steered towards a continuing education so he has decided to enlist (he is already a future soldier) in the machine...as a PVT Fuzzy...

Is the LT disturbed by this? well....yes and no...if it is truly what he wants to do then fuckin A baby, but I so wish he would have gone the school route and given himself an upperhand in this whole Army thing...

Oh, and by the way Wican woman...who trashed talked my true income, I did some math for you, dont worry you should be able to follow...I calculated an E5 pay with fringes and found that I make 2.36 times that in my civilian job...add my $378 a month drill pay for an even greater ratio...so stick that up yo assss...

Really, she is a hateful, garbage spewing fine example of a woman...

It pisses me off because I liked the 'Life as a Citizen Soldier' blog, and it was not at all that I forgot about 'C', I just try to get on and live in the present...I regret my selfishness from those dark days long ago, and God will judge me on this...but for her to say that my life is a lie??? Fuck the hell off...it feels pretty fuckin real to me at 44...

Yes the LT will go back to propping his fam....Love my kiddos, ALL of them...

And my Army attitude? yeah, well, I have drill this weekend...another endless weekend of surfing the net baby! and maybe more blogging at that!

I hope to reconnect with 13stoploss and some others...I miss the good blogs...and I will try to lighten things up a bit in the future writings! Promise!
