Responsibility fail

So, one of the teams in the previous unit apparently signed up for civilian internet service through a local Djiboutian company. This was a couple months before we showed up. Apparently they never paid for it after that, and didn't tell my team about it.

So now these Djiboutians are telling us that we owe them over $4,000 US. That's quite impressively terrible at life, no?

Well don't I feel like a dick...

Just discovered that the reason my soldier can't get promoted is because we're overstrength on E-5 sergeant types. When some of them drop off our roster at the end of the deployment, or get promoted to E-6 staff sergeant types, those slots will open up.

I happen to be one of those holding an E-5 slot.

And have consistently refused promotion for like a year, on account of the fact that I'm getting out after this trip.

Sorry man.
