Today, is one of those days where you just have to smile at the stupid. My wing leadership deploys me, knowing full well I have a wife due at the midpoint of a combat tour and leave is not granted. The policy is set by CENTCOM CCJ1 (personnel), but my Group leadership tries hard to get a waiver, even though no waiver exists. Considering I have the most deployments in my squadron, and the most recent, Im still wondering how I got pegged for this. Also, they took away my pre-deployment training necessary for my staff job for worthless combat skills training. Oh, they did the same to 2 of my 3 NCOs. Rescue is important...check's in the mail. I work my ass off on this tour, fixing numerous rescue problems from improperly tuned radios, ensuring I have the proper web based applications running to see emergency signals, and procure rescue equipment from stateside units. I also provide several classes, instruct more than 300+ flyers, and put together training exercise to make sure the architecture works, when not on my 8 hour daily watch. Today, I have a feedback session with my new boss, even though I have two weeks left, he still wants to provide feedback. No problem, I like him. He asks the standard questions: family, years of service, brief records review, and where I see myself in five years. He then tells me I crushed it this tour; however, my previous O-6 is unhappy about how I made it home for the birth. Backgound: Initially, I requested an exception to leave policy, but the previous O-6 would not push the request. However, he extended his R&R by attending a 2 week TDY/TAD to Nellis. I'm not stupid. I emulated. I tested a needed piece of equipment the same time my wife was due. So, the previous O-6 show he has no integrity. He tells me he is not upset, but then he dings me on my evaluation (that I had to write), and lowers my end to tour decoration. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Would I do it again? In an instant! I could care less about what shiny medal I get from this deployment. I got to see my son born, I was there for my wife and I wouldnt trade that for the world.

PS. That fucker is on my No Pick-up List. He better not need rescue while I am the controls or in a control center. Hell be the one I just couldn't find...

I was honored to meet Jason and his family a few times - all wonderful people. Fuck that guy and all of those phony pricks.
