Everytime I think Im done They keep pulling me in again!!!
I was at a point in my life where I was about to give up on my current job, although I am extremely proud of what I do I just felt that after 10 years I was not going to get to the next level of my career and get forced out due to stagnation in promotion. I started to go to school to get my degree which is something I am going to complete anyway, I started to look for jobs in the civilian sector and started to make contacts to keep from deploying to Iraq for a year just then WHAMMMO I get selected to Staff Sergeant!!! I really don't know what to feel right now, I am still in shock I don't know if I should feel good about myself or pissed off for having to wait so long for a promotion that should have came a year ago. I kind of feel like the Marine Corps has the same sense of humor that I do and likes to just keep me on my toes. So I guess I am going to give my beloved gun club another 4 years and see if they can make either a Warrant Officer or a Gunny out of me before I h
