Listen to this shit.

So usually where we are at we usually have a family time, which is mandated by the command, but today we didn't fucking get it. Now here is what I don't understand. We are told that family time will not be stepped on. But today everyone was told there family time would be on Saturday. Now mind you Saturday is a full fucking work day too. Another thing I don't get is the fact that my station is year to date on our numbers, meaning we have made mission so far year to date. I don't get the fact that we are year to date and we are working till 2100 everyday, this is the stupid shit people do in USAREC. I also don't get the fact that we have mission for the month identified, and we are still working till 2100 at night. Sometimes these recruiters have to get up at 0300 or earlier for the next day to take people down to MEPS, and we are being forced to keep them till these stupid hours at night.

Oh and let me get on the fact that these people, USAREC leaders, waste all sorts of money. For example just think about how much it takes to fill up a typical sedan this day and age. How much money does it take to fill up one of them cars, oh let's say a Dodge Stratus or a Chevy Impala. Well I can tell you how much it costs around 25-35 bucks depending on how empty your tank is. Now here is a prime example of how the leaders will waste money. A typical company in USAREC has about 30-60 govt vehicles, depending on the amount of recruiters they are authorized. Sometimes they will get a hair up their ass, and call a formation the next day and make it mandatory everyone will attend. Hey it's your tax dollars at work and usually these recruiters will have to travel more than 200 miles round trip for this little excursion. Or you can go even bigger and the BN HQ will do something equally stupid and further away from your location and usually this takes away from our daily production. Sometimes it actually intereferes with what we have going on for the day. And the leaders don't give a shit. They don't give a shit that when they call for a formation in the morning that most of their recruiters had to get up really early in the morning, and then drive in heavy traffic, sometimes in hazardous conditions. All of this just to get to a formation because some 1SG or a CSM had a wild hair up their ass and they want to see everyone at 0800 in the morning because some people are not making their appts. This is the kind of bullshit that I have to put up with everyday. I would rather be riding up and down the streets of Iraq than put up with this shit. These so called leaders out here don't know how to lead. I thought USAREC was getting rid of the so called toxic leadership. But there are still some of those stupid asses out here. All they care about is the bottom line, it's all about the numbers. Those numbers are going to always be there, no matter how much bitching and yelling they do them numbers are not going to change, the only thing that is changing those numbers is the current state of the economy. I am tired of being successful and not getting rewarded for it. This is complete bullshit.
