Theres Smart, then theres Army Smart, the latter got the better half of me when I enlisted in the Reserves, and luck would laugh at me for being stuck in an office job again...
I recently got an email stating my reclassing slot was canceled a third/fourth time...
I am in a Boat unit that has a Staff Sergeant MP slot that I currently am in. Of course that being I am a Specialist its odd, although my contract has a paragraph and line number for me to be in that slot? Any how I've been doubting myself as I always get the Office type job and seriously lose touch with my original job training. In the coming months if I can I think I will try to transfer from this Aquatic Transportation BN and go to an MP company and earn my way up, instead of almost being guaranteed my 6... (sadly most my friends are E6(s) while some how my lack of leaders leading me has left me behind...) Partially its my fault, but nows the time for me to rebound.
I also am starting to miss MOUT, Stress fire and all the other Combat Arms type training I took for granted. My current unit doesn't do live fire shoot houses, maybe a glass house with blanks with old ALICE gear and A2 rifles...
I digress, I just want to reclass smoothly and want to do the job I signed up to do for once. Not to be like the coffee/typing guy in Blackhawk Down.
