Many are warranted. Many are not. The sad fact is that a manipulative asshole sitting behind a desk knows how to job the system. Think John F'n Kerry.

HOW THE FUCK does a chubby witch who sat behind a desk for her whole career get a disability pension? She then brags to me one day about working the system to get it. I told her I don't like scammers and bit my tongue and walked away. I am sure people you know , know her.<br />I spent 29 years at a public agency, 75% of the ass wipes could have been gone and we would have gotten more done and saved a ton of money at the same time.<br />And one question, how come all the military big wigs nowadays wear so much fruit salad? Look at pictures of Ike, Bradley, Marshal, and other famous military figures. Much more dignified in a civilians opinion.<br /><br />Hang in there<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Deserttreknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237925.post-83791680900570862552017-03-22T00:26:06.929-06:002017-03-22T00:26:06.929-06:00i feel your pain, brother.... in the 20+ years ...i feel your pain, brother.... in the 20+ years i was in, i spent on average 9 months of the year TDY somewhere. keep in mind most of this time was when it was relatively peaceful. just before i retired i met a gal from finance. same rank, same TIS, a truly wonderous display of fruit salad on her rather distracting chest ( i used that as a reason to ogle. im an NCO dammit, i have reasons, not excuses....), and she had never once in 19 years gone TDY, worked a weekend, or even a bit of overtime. never missed a lunch HOUR.... i was floored. but, i'll tell ya.... that MSM with 2 OLCs looked real pretty..... p2noreply@blogger.com
