Well this last year has been a fun one...NOT! Work was getting interesting and I was given the job I wanted working with systems in the CP. I was also stoked to learn I would be attending NCO Academy. Things were looking good!
Everything was going good until the bottom fell out. While I was in NCOA some other NCO's got it in their heads that our SMSgt who was in charge of the CP was no good and wanted him gone. An investigation was started and he was removed from his position. Being that the other Senior NCO's had either departed for new bases and the other one was TDY to Iraq, these NCO's were put in charge of the CP. I was not on good terms with these younger individuals and paid for it. I was stripped from my position and put back to doing airman work. This went on until my supervisor returned from Iraq and set things straight. Im back in my dream job and everything is awesome, I even have a great working relationship with one of the individuals who caused the whole thing.
2009 also saw the arrival of my son Brenden who has not lived with me for more that 2 weeks since me and his mothers divorce in 1997. Its good to have him home!
My daughter is growing like a weed and continues to enlighten my life!
Anyway I'm on track for another deployment to Afghanistan in July but Im taking my camera. As soon as the testing cycle for MSGT is completed you can expect more photographs to go up. Just been a tough year and depression is a bitch...lol
