Update: When my commander said he signed my leave form and sent it up last week, he really meant he didn't touch it until today and then was confused why S1 wouldn't accept it, so now my third leave form has been submitted, and I'll be selling back 42 days of leave...

So I'm go to preface this rant with my current events which have caused me so much anger as of late:

So I'm getting out of the Army, mostly because thanks to Recruiting making me extend, I'm over 10 years and thus a "career soldier" and can't reclass like I wanted before Mr. Bone's Wild Ride started. So back in March, I put in my packet for an Early Separation for School so I can start college on time in the Fall. Get flagged shortly thereafter because I get a school date for ALC, and I don't want to do ALC months before ETSing. All this time, 1SG sits on packet refusing to send it up because "I'm not giving you any favorable action". Beginning of May, or at least, I should have been unflagged beginning of May. 1SG sits on that for three weeks until I threaten to call BC using open door. Finally gets up to Bn at end of May. Beginning of this month, I find out that it's been sitting at Bn for a month because CSM asked 1SG to call him about it, and 1SG couldn't find the time, so I start the paperwork for a congressional, office calls CSM, and CSM sends it up. Two days from leaving Bn to arriving at G1. G1 comes back asking for my leave form, seeing as the one I submitted in April for this would have started in 3 days (should have been on terminal 10 days ago). Send new leave form up the same day. Shoot an email to S1 asking if they had sent my packet back, and they still haven't seen my leave form, and CC company asking about it. Company secretary (civilian, former E-5 42A that files important paperwork in the shredder, I kid you not) sends back an email complaining about going over her head and jumping chain of command asking about this. I send back a heavily editted-for-profanity and much nicer worded email explaining that if she were on top of any of this, I wouldn't have to chase down S1. I then get a phone call from my Commander yelling at me for complaining about "timeliness" just because they aren't "working on my schedule". Meanwhile, I'm trying to be out of the Army in around 50 days. Meanwhile, I'm still being expected to put in 100% effort to recruiting, and being told that I shouldn't go to shit like filing for disability because "I need to be working".

This entire organization is the most fucked up place in the Army. I have slick-sleeve E7s to E9s telling me how much better this is than a deployment, NCO's complaining about our work ethic when the Army is paying us sooo much to be out here (yet at the same time I volunteer to give up my special pay, and they tell me to go fuck myself). I get to work this Saturday making phone calls for 6 god damn hours because we didn't put enough people in the Army in the last two weeks. I've had multiple NCO's tell me "Why should I do any work for you, you aren't a good recruiter", and one of said NCO's is a motherfucking AGR E-7 that has been in recruiting a long as I've been in the Army, and he has to ask me how to do shit.

This is the most toxic leadership I've ever had, and that included the PL that attacked me, the PSG that smoked me for 6 hours for waking him up doing my job, and a Battalion Commander that was reduced to Major and forcibly retired, after the I Corp commander flew down to NTC, while he was on leave, to personally relieve him.

Want to know the difference between them and my current crop of incompetent 'leaders'? If I asked for help, any one of them would do anything in their power to help me out. Here, I can't get a single person to do a god damn thing unless it "helps the mission", and I get yelled at after going to BH because everyone assumed I was suicidal and I refused to turn my weapons over to the very man that made me need to go there in the first place. At this rate, I just want to leave so I can start going to school and get on with the rest of my life but I can't even do that.

If you ever get Recruiting orders, fail the psych eval or go to ASAP so you can make yourself ineligible for this bullshit.

That is all. Carry on with your weekend.
