UNIT 4 ANOTHER DAY
Today was just another day on board the USS IWO JIMA. I find that my life is so routine. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner and then either go to sleep because I have to wake up and do it all again the next day or I have to come to class and then go to sleep and wake up the next day to do it all over again, and boy does 4:45am come way to fast. I have 8 years until retirement and I am already counting down the days. Horrible I know, but this new command is quite exhausting and very demanding. I feel like I age a little everyday. Last night someones purse was stolen out of our office. We all have keys to the office so it we knew it had to be internal, but no one fessed up. Some one stealing from you is a horrible feeling but having someone steal from you that you thought you could trust is the worst. This lady who's purse was stolen would give you the shirt off her back and it I just couldnt believe it. We had morning quarters and our Chief put out that if he finds out who did it he will make sure that the individual gets processed out. I think that scared the person because later on in the afternoon who ever it was managed to return the purse with everything still in it. I was just amazed, but now we know that we can't leave any personal items in the office. Seems you cant trust anyone. Well let me go time to get ready for another day.. Good night!

I do understand how life can become so routine. For me it becomes so boring at times. I hate when people steal, just ask if you need something, don't just take it. That's the worse feeling for me to have someone to invade me like that. I try my best to be as honest with people, but I know myself, I would be telling the people around me unless her purse comes back up it would be hard for me to look at you the same. I just don't understand why people have to be like that.You going to have to lock everything up for now that's a shame. So you mention you have 8 years to retire, those years will pass real soon before you know it. Good luck, chat with you soon.
ReplyDeleteKeep your head up dear. I do not miss that much about military life. The only thing I miss is places we go on deployments and the fun we have when we get there.
ReplyDeleteWith the trust issue... you are all in each others faces 24/7, it will be hard to leave personal items behind now that the incident happened. It is fustrating that one person's stupidity has led to everyone's insecurity.
It is a shame that you cannot trust anyone in your office. I am proud that her purse was returned. I have everything in my purse and I would be devastated if it was stolen.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! Eight years will pass by really fast.
