it happened again!

The short bus (salsa) is so fucked up, they aren't allowed to have reinforcements, so once again, Vx is not getting deployed! It's no wonder events like at Fort Hood occur, instead of sending someone that wants to go and has never been deployed, the Army sends soldiers that have already been there that either have no business going back, or they really wish not to, bad enough they cause harm to others.

I've also seen other things online about the Fort Hood incident that pissed me off. The military protects our freedoms, one of them being religion. Because of this, NOT EVERYONE IN THE MILITARY IS CHRISTIAN! Yes, there are Muslims (their dog tags say Islam) in the military, they do not have the desire to go on a shooting spree on a military instillation, they want to protect our freedoms and the United States like anyone else in the military. These Americans that do not call themselves christians have lived in the US all of their lives, maybe they traveled outside the country to visit family, but they share the same sentiment for our great country as "real" Americans do. It's the same thing in life, one person ruins it for everyone, one Muslim ruined the image of their religion for the others, one bad person in Salsa has ruined Vx's chances for deployment, one person at my job causes my superiors to have to change rules, in tern making me look like a bitch.

Right now the plan is to have Vx spend next month getting a different MOS so he can stay with Warriors, then early next year deploying with some unit. I don't have high hopes of this being the real scenario. Sometime this summer, someone at Warriors said that Vx's experience is not typical, then why the same shit happening to him over and over again?!?!?!

dont know why this is happening to him. hope things get better and the change in mos will help.

now for me, I would not want hubby to deploy even if he wanted it, but I understand that this is also a good financial move for you both and what Vx wants to do so I will be the first to say that I hope he does get to do it. take care blog friend.
