Hitting a Low

Today I am in a rather dark mood. It started Monday when I sent an email to the unit CO expressing my concerns about the manner in which he communicates with me. He never replied and during last night’s drill I discovered that he made some changes in the unit without discussing them with me. One of the changes included promoting two other cadets ahead of my son. If he had come to me and discussed this decision showing me the criteria used to measure the cadets, I could have accepted his decision. But between that and all his other bullshit, I have decided to resign. I discussed it with B and he is in agreement with my decision.

So today I am blue. Not even my morning coffee shop routine brings me much pleasure. I feel like my best friend has died. I feel betrayed by the CO and now feel the spite and vindictiveness that he’s unleashed upon other people. I will likely take the kids to training in RI this weekend but sadly, that will be my last time with the kids.
