Big Sarge Update
 

Hey. I'm selling my trailer and shipping out with the military in 4 days. When I get set up, I'll update everyone with my location. I've got an easy mission & the Army will feed & house me.

I'm selling my trailer and other things to pay for an attorney to fight for my job. I really don't know what is going on with my position. I had 2 incidents occur on the same day that I was suspended.

1. I turned in an official notification of military service that was going to prevent me from being present at an awards ceremony, where my agency is being recognized as the best public safety department in the state. I was going to have my deputy chief receive the award.

2. The local head of the NAACP met with the Board. I do not know of any allegations against me.

The Board met for an hour and called me into the room. They suspended and would not give me a reasoon why. They did say there wasn't anything that I had really done wrong, but they were going to check on things. Then the Mayor gave a press release to the media.

I'm greatly puzzled by any hints of racism because earlier the Board had questioned whether I had Nazi tattoos, etc. I was made to remove my shirt and display my tattoos. That was when I reminded them that I am a Jew with a biracial daughter. That was also the meeting I declared it a hostile work enviroment. Plus, I'm even a member of the NAACP.

Who knows what is going on when it comes to small town politics. They still haven't told me & many folks are jumping to the conclusion that because the NAACP was there, that I must be a racsist. Little do they know....

Sidenote to Merc - yep, that's a tracker I was driving. I have it set up to take atv attachments & I can go just about anyplace. Plus, it is a whole lot easier on my prostate than a 4 wheeler. LOL. I pland to lift it slightly & put a winch bumper on it

Please stay in touch, Sarge.

I'm rooting for you Big Sarge. I can be fooled, you might be fooling me, sure. But I have a hard time imagining any rational basis for the kinds of allegations you describe.

Hang in there brother.

Good luck, Big Sarge!

Love you very much Maury.
If you're suspended on pay use the time to come on over here (England).

I'm worried about you going back into the Military, but that's probably a typical civilian response!

Look after yourself, please.
Remember you are loved.

Best of luck my friend !!

The best to, sarge

Don't let the assholes get you down!

^^^What he said!!!^^^

Soar like an eagle, fuck the turkeys.

i'm sure he'd rather fuck the chicks. Best of Luck, sarge

Oh, so you're a malcontent, eh. :haha:

Take care, Sarge.

May all our best wishes attach themselves to your soul :)

Hang in there bro. May see you down range, who knows.... Peace.

If he sees you down range, find cover, quick!

Sarge, sorry about the chaos ... but maybe there are some opportunities in it that you don't see yet. Sounds like you pissed mightily on their bonfire when you pulled the rug out from under any racist accusations they might have tried to hang on you.

Let us know what happens, where you are, and how you are doing.

Keep safe and I hope everything works out!

Maybe you could find a job where they pay you in gum!!












Nobody ever pays me in gum.

I'm at Sierra Vista, AZ. Does any dwellar live nearby? I brought my panda suit.

Careful - you're close to Sheldon - hahahahahahaaaa

Oh, hell no!

It's cooler in AZ rfn than it is in KY!!

86 degrees with 12% humidity vs. 89 degrees with 36% humidity.

That shit ain't right.

I'm in Scottsdale, AZ and I LOVE Panda Express! hehehehe

Sarge is it safe to use the email address I have for you?
I thought that was your work email so I have sent anything since you started having this trouble.

my trip to the desert was fun. here's a pic of the plane and what happens to soldiers who party too hard before the trip. sorry for the fuzziness, but i was using an nvg to the lens

i'm really happy. this next photo shows what true bliss is.

Looks good BS !!!

Put your feet up and enjoy that stuff.

outstanding sir!

(i wanna fly it!!!)

All three of those pics are great, thanks!

Did you use the nvg on the top b/w pic of the plane too? That's a great shot.

Ya reckon Sarge delivers?

I bet he does.

Man, I used to snatch the "Outdoor Life"s and the "Field & Stream"s right outta Popdigr's hands to read McManus' articles.

Now, I'm loving Bill Heavey's "A Sportsman's Life" column on the back page of "Field & Stream".

The day before I flew out, I took Addie riding. Even though it is a cellphone pic, I just have to share it. Only 4 and she refuses to ride double.

I had the day off & I spent it in Tombstone. I'm adding weight again (ugh) & you can see how I'm developing my butterfly mask on my nose & cheeks. However, the money is great, food is good, and I'm so relaxed to be back with troops. Another thing - these are non-cellphone pics & better quality.

Sheldon - we need to meet up. I've got some Rocky Patel & CAO cigars. We can kick back & drink some Double Chocolate Stout.

So who they got you workin' for (USAIC, 111th, ASA ... etc.) and whatcha doin' (staff, student, teaching, recruiting or what)? Just don't say they've got you on "police" call.

Nice to see you Sarge. Hope there is a lil less stress for you there.
Boy oh boy - Addie is a cutie. She's gonna be a handful in a few years.

Only butterflies I see are on Addie's top.
And a man needs a bit of meat on him if he has to survive all you're going through.

Lovely photos, thank you.

sexobon - I'm part of National Guard support for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency prevalent in the area. You can read between the lines. Thanks to all for the kind comments

If while you're there you see something else that you might like doing on AD, go directly to the CSM of that organization and request a Letter of Acceptance. Expect follow-up interviews if they're at all interested. You can take an LOA to their supporting PAC to verify an open slot (they can carry you one pay grade up to two down on paper). It's a lot of leg work; but, getting an LOA and a printout identifying an open TOE/TDA position by line number improves the chances of getting a release for transfer (NG-RA in your case) tremendously. A lot of people go up through the ranks, even on AD, without learning that this can be done.

WTF? lol

I'm glad to see you happier, Sarge. Great pix, by the way. :)

Hey. I learned that little brown scorpions aren't very friendly. I was stung last night & I woke up this morning with the area purple & dripping pus.

Sexobon - I wish I could. My active duty time is 11 years total. I have mandatory retirement in 5 years, so I can't reach sanctuary. My only hope is to keep pulling Guard missions & deployments. Seems like on med & jag can get the extensions, though I did see a CW5 (pilot) stay till 65 on AGR status flying medevac

Where is this area you speak of? Sure it was pus? Are you sure it wasn't a wet dream?


[GnySgtHartman]Jesus H. Christ, I think you got a hard on![/GnySgtHartman]

The South?

Below the Mason-Dixon line, at any rate.

It didn't happen if you don't have pics, right? I shot a pic playing with the NVGs last night a few minutes after it happened. Then this morning it had swelled to cover 2 joints and almost reach my cuticle. Sorry that pic is so zoomed in, but we were trying to catch the "explosion" using the sports mode. Anyway, the docs have told me that the only known cure is some topless pics of the women on the Cellar. Flash your tits. You'll be doing your part to keep America safe!!!

Geez, you can't blame a guy for trying to get some nekkid pics....

that's not his finger, folks..... don't be fooled into asking for more.

You ain't 'posed to bend it!!

You can wiggle it, shake it, and wave it around, but, don't bend it!

Did you get pus in boots?

"Oh cool its bendable!", *SNAP*
"nevermind"

Hahahaha/ Excellent.

Only in the beginning...

Wait, has no-one said this yet...?

I'm sorry about your finger.

Not

It is freakin' hot!!!! It's reached the point where I stop wearing underwear. Just a warning in case any of you decide to check. No more tea or soft drinks until this heat wave breaks on Tuesday. I'm only drinking water.

I truly pity any poor soul who might attempt to hike across the Border. They might as well go ahead and commit suicide

Anytime you are in the area. Remember, I'm a public transport kind of guy. And a slut! :-)

daaaamn sarge! jokes aside, that's fucking nasty! I got bit when I was a kid in south texas and thank gawd I only remember the initial bite! :eek:

Umm ... Sarge, please say you're on antibiotics. And if your finger has swollen along its entire length, you're going to tell us you've had an orthopedic surgeon look at you, right? Especially if the party trick with the pus is continuing. Pretty please.

no shit. dude, really....

Evidently it is pretty common around here. Mine was just worse because of my allergy to insect stings. They gave me a shot of medrol & put me on clindamycin (sic?). I change the dressing twice a day. It still weeps a little, but there is no more bright red area.

Whew. Glad you're doing better.
