Good news, what?
Seriously. Mark the calendar.
I’m getting promoted. Finally. After missing it once for not having my points turned in and missing it by nine stupid points last month, I’ve got it this month. Not without some work first though! Even though I had the points and my points were all in the system, my name wasn’t on the promotions roster. After lots of what the fucks and oh my gods I talked to the supervisor in the personnel section. He said everything checked out and I must’ve just slipped through the cracks because the Army is in the middle of changing the way promotions are done (for the worse but that’s another rant later) so he put in some paperwork and now I’m good to get promoted on June 1st. Finally. After 18 months of waiting.
Almost-better news! I’m going on leave in thirty days! Well, almost, in thirty days I should be leaving Iraq and on my way home for leave. As I told Katie earlier this week, it might be weird for me, spending time with people I more than barely tolerate. I’m currently working on a human hairstyle so when I get home I look more like I belong there rather than belonging here.
June and July will be good months. Then August will be shit again.
Awesome! It’s good to hear that you’re getting promoted, and even better that you get to come back soon!
Oh My God!!!!! I am so excited for you! You have worked so hard for this!!! CONGRATULATIONS Sgt. Hubbard!!!!! I love you so much and I’m so proud of you!!
So what you’re saying is that i’ll have to shave your head when you get here.
