Trackspin: Patrice Rushen - Music Of The Earth.
It hasn't been a good 3 days of work. I just got news that I'm posted out to EMR again for the following month, deployed on 4/2. There goes my weekends, there goes everything they told us about. Bunch of fricken liars they are, no less. Yesterday was the breaking point where I realized that I honestly want to hurt someone really badly, be it physically or otherwise. And along the way, I've come to lose all form of respect for NSF officers. Especially the batch that just got commissioned about 2-3 months ago. Bunch of JC retards. I swear that asshole is the lowest form of life possible for an officer. I wonder how he even got into OCS, for crying out loud. He's at fault and yet, he doesn't apologize willingly, choosing to ignore his mistake, then coming to talk to me privately and telling me all that crap that he doesn't even know anything about. I took that as a threat, personally. And trust me, one more stupid "incident" is all it takes for me to light one big bonfire under his pants. Ignorant fuck-face, he's yet to come across a man who'll cause him problems he'll not be able to solve alone.
Apparently there are a whole bunch of officers around who think that men are of a lower class then them. Here's where I tell you they are not. For all you commanders, here's a hint: You got into OCS/SISPEC because you had a choice and you made that choice. Those in mono intakes did not have that luxury of a choice, and there are those who CHOSE not to follow the conventional route of going to OCS/SISPEC as well. This does not mean they are of any lower standard than you are. By viewing them as one step below you, you've already proven yourself unworthy of leading them, which is your role as a commander. So therefore, treat your men with respect and accept their views and actions too. Respect is earned, not given unconditionally. Lead them, strive to better your men through your own actions. Do not expect them to just blindly follow you just because you're of a higher rank than they are. Think before you do anything. And a final word, think of the consequences of your every action, because your men are watching you, observing to see if you are worthy of their respect and admiration as their commander.
On to other things, I think I really need to get a preamp for Nez already. It's been long put off and I think there're some issues with the pots and my jack, darn it. More money down the drain.
I think I might have found what I want in a camera. But it's not a Canon. Hmm, time to consider it properly I suppose. Yet more money going down the drain I suppose.
The upcoming week promises to be a bad one. The next month too. Under more pressure to clear SOC just to get the rank of CPL, coz the platoon needs a 2i/c for each section. And its already been designated I think I'm thinking too much about things that shouldn't be in my head at this point in time. Perhaps it'd be best to let things rest the way they are and handle what I can. Biting off more than I can chew, maybe. Sigh.
Have I gone crazy? I just posted up my GT-6B and my Fender up on classifieds. Sigh. Maybe it's time for things to change, be it for better or for worse. The Fender's only a maybe but I think the GT-6B is definitely up for grabs. No shit eh? Surprise surprise, even to me, that I'd do that. But it's all just a temporary thing perhaps. I think I'm seriously not thinking right now. Someone please tell me if I'm making a huge mistake in doing everything that I am now..
