I was in between missions and had a couple minutes to put that out there. I am not going to let this affect how I do my job. I put forth 110% in everything I do, and it shows. I am already beeing looked at for early promotion, which satisfies one of my immediate goals.
But again I do remember the Clinton years, and they were so bad that I gave up the one job that truely made me happy. In hindsite that was not the smartest thing to do since I would have been retired by now, but at least I have the opportunity to fix that and that is what I am doing. And no matter how bad it will be in a year or so, I am going to stick it out, suck it up and continue being the best I can be. Understand I love the military very much, not because I get to wear a uniform and everyone thanks me, but because I just love soldiering. And that is what bothers me so much, that this institution that has been so good to me is going to do down again. I honestly hope it does not though. Bruce On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 5:31 PM, Erika L.
