Reporting aboard

BuilderRet · 07-17-2019, 02:14 PM

Retired a couple years ago after 30 years and I have learned a couple things.
1) Civilians have feelings, you can hurt them too.
2) A 24 year old 'boss' that has never left the city he was born in- really has no idea of what a "hostile work environment" really is! And you will be written up and fired creating one.
3) I guess there is something that is called a 'personal space' that you can 'invade'.
4) When someone asks you what you think, they really didn't mean it.

CAN I PLEASE just go back to IRAQ NOW?

God- I miss the service.

I spent only three years in the army, 101t abn div when it was a parachute division. I spent 20 years on a major eastern city police department. Therefore I know of what you speak. Wouldn't want to be a cop again but I do think a lot about my military service. Unfortunately now I'm to ancient for either task.
