So we have been through our safety stand down day. And alas, not much has changed. With the exception that the command is really paying attention to the family day now, which is really great. But this Saturday I was shutting down at 1500 and my 1SG is like hey what is going on. I told him that it was time to shut down. Then he acted like he didn't even know about the final cut off time to get out of the station. So that shows me right there that he had not even read about the time off policies at all. It also shows me that he don't even give a shit about them. So tonight he called me up around 10 minutes till 9:00 PM and he was like hey I called the station and no one was there. I was like yeah, we made our requirements for the day and I cut everyone loose. He gets fucking mad. I am like WTF? He starts threatening 4187's, bar to reenlistment and all other sorts of shit. I cannot believe this, after all the attention on the stress recruiters are under, people like this are still doing stupid shit. You cannot give someone a bar just because they cannot put people in the Army or because you think they shouldn't go home right up until 2100. What kills me is the policy says no later than 2100 not up until 2100. Fucking jackass. Until people like this leave USAREC nothing is going to change.

So we have had our famous safety standown day. Guess what? I didn't learn shit. I don't think anyone did. That was about the dumbest, and most disorganized training event I have ever attended. Now we found out they are serious now about family time. What I want to know is how did it ever get this far. They should have been serious about this all along. My command was so fucking funny, doing all the typical false motivation shit. If they really knew how close everyone really is to quitting they would back the fuck off. They are doing shit like, wanting all the other shit on the MAP, even when the contract line is being met. What kills me is if the contract line is being met then who the hell cares? People are coming through the door at an alarming rate and these fucksticks are still bitching about the little things. I am like WTF? Fuck it all I am tired of being a SFC in this Army in charge of other sergeants and me and mine are being treated like shit.

So my 1SG shows up today. Ahhh the smell of cigarettes and stale beer. Because that is what he smells like. Anyway he just comes in and sits there in the office camped out on his computer like Tonto. Dude hardly even says three words to me today. I think he is mad that I have come in here and brought this station to the top of his company and there are station commanders he has had in place for awhile at that, they are not doing as good as we are. Then today he gave me a counseling statement and he didn't even fucking read it off, what a crock. Other than that we added about 4 more to the 5 day projection roster and yippie we are going to write over the mission again. Oh well I guess that doesn't matter.

My idiotic leaders again acting like jackasses

So today I had to go to another station to get some things done. So when I get there my 1SG is there. He never tells us where he is. (why I don't fucking know) Anyway there he is. And today he is acting like more than a jackass than usual. I guess he had to make up for yesterday. Anyhow there are like two suspenses that were not due until 1300 and here it is only 1130. Then he starts cussing at me like I am all fucked up. Hell I was about to send him the taskers anyhow. So, later on in the day this jerk-off sends me a counseling statement via email. What kind of bullshit is that? It was not even one that could be digitally signed either. I took it as a negative counseling statement. Maybe it was not. I don't know. I do know this that counseling statement was all fucked up, damn spelling errors and everything. What does he expect me to do sign that shit. I don't think so. What is pissing me the fuck off is the fact that my station is going to finish out this mission by next week. He has other stations that are way worse than what I am doing, I hope and pray that he is crawling through there assholes like he is mine. I do know this me and this cocksucker are going to talk tomorrow.

So why is it when people are doing really good they higher ups in this business like fucking with you. My station is on lead line and has box plus identified. But my retarded ass first sergeant keeps pushing my station for more. Why is that, why don't he push the stations that are not doing anything that is the people he needs to be fucking with and not me. Not to much happened today in the way of stupidity except for that. No dumbass phone calls, no dumbass suspenses, nothing. I really cannot believe it. No formations, no wasing government money today. Nothing. I am in disbelief about the whole day. I think it is the calm before the fucking storm.

Sorry leadership

So I was the floor manager today for the company. You have read my previous post as to how late I worked yesterday. Then I had to get up and 0245 this morning just to get to MEPS this morning. And I had to drive in the snow to get there. Hey 1sg that was very safe. Also what was safe was having one of my other reruiters be at the meps the same time I had to be there. He had no reason to be there other than my 1SG wanted him there, very very stupid. So I was on the floor all day. Up all day since 0245. Bottom line is this, our station had two guys who wanted certain jobs and there was no training available. And the Recruiting Operations Command was not working with us. (See you just cannot come into the office and get whatever job you want.) So anyway after everyone under the fucking sunshine talking to these two, they still didn't join. So I talk to them in the car, then I had to take them to another station commander he talked to them. Then they had to go and talk to the 1SG. And the whole time the roads are icing over. Anyway we I had to go back to the office and pull a job for them, they agreed to go back down on Friday. So I get back to the office, I notice all the recruiters are gone. Now I find out from my 1SG he sent them all home. Ok that is fine, but why do I have to stay and pull jobs on these guys when all my recruiters have been released for safety considerations. I have been up since 0245, been up the whole damn time, then I have to stay at the office till about 2100 again, to pull a jobs on two people who didn't pick jobs earlier today. So now why don't we give everyone at least a little time to decompress? And why am I still at work when the roads are iced over, where is the consideration for my fucking safety? That is what I want to know. What a jackhole for a leader.

The type of toxic leadership I deal with.

So the station commanders are told today that each recruiter will make at least three appointments today. Nevermind what MAP says (Mission Accomplishment Plan). So I have 4 Regular Army Recruiters in my station. According to the conversion data it says that they should only have to make 13 appointments for the whole week for 4 recruiters. Now let me do some simple fucking math here. 4 into 13 is what 3.25 apts for the entire fucking week! So we could round that up and just say 4. And this cocksucker wants 3 apts per recruiter today! Fuck that, what a bunch of bullshit. Then after I sent out the end of day report ( the report that says how many apts each recruiter has for the day). This dude is tripping out on how all these apts better show the hell up etc etc. Now I am thinking to myself we are working our asses off, and we are making the actual mission (contracts). I was also told by this asshole he didn't care about success all he cared about was the standard being met. Well fuck me in the asshole what a crock of fucking shit. Let me explain this too. Even though we are making mission this cocksmoker doesn't fucking care? Are you serious? I tell you what let me tell my recruiters to lay down and not make any contracts then we will see how bad he cares about being successfull. I just don't get it. Then he is telling me that I am basically a piece of shit. Well excuse me for making mission you cocksucking fuckshit. I really don't understand it. Since when did all this come about? I am working me and my guys until 2130 at night and it is still not enough. We are making mission, ie, the bottom line month after fucking month and he don't care? What a fucking jackass. Then I am working until the late hours of the night and then I have to be up at the MEPS tomorrow morning at 0530? MEPS is about an hour away. So that means I have to get up around 0300 in the morning just to get to MEPS on time. I even asked this guy my 1SG who is supposed to care about soldiers mind you if I could cut out a little early and he said no. You are going to stay there until at least 2100, I didn't get off the phone with in my station until 2145. Do the math will I have the rest I need to be on the road in a Govt vehicle? I don't think so. And reader, this is going on all over the country at every recruiting company in every recruiting BN. It will be denied, but it is being done. A little research will yield big results.
