CRAZY

Back story real quick, theres a lot of weird shit going on in the military right now and lot of Soldiers are being retrained to do different jobs due to unit transformations. Its not a huge deal. "Adapt and overcome". whatever. Whats funny is that since I joined the Army in March 2005 I have been trained to do a total of THREE different jobs; Cannon Crewmember, Aviation Operations Specialist, and Cavalry Scout (In that order). It has recently come to my attention(about 10 minutes ago) That after all the money and time our government has spent on my military education for these other two jobs, I might be going BACK to the gun line behind some of the few remaining cannons we hold on to so dearly here in the VA National Guard. This is killing me. I don't regret a damn thing. I jumped at all my opportunities and took what was up for grabs. In the end, I would love to chill with another howitzer crew on drill weekends. I'm still going to push for a slot in one of the Cav squadrons down in Norfolk, but as long as they get me out of this HHC(read: office bitch) job that I somehow managed to be dropped into last month I'll be happy. It all works out in the end.....
