A Very Sh*tty Day!

Yesterday was pretty much an all-around sh*tty day.

First, at roll-call the Supervision was acting all salty. I said good morning to a couple people and they just basically ignored me. When I sat down in the roll-call area I asked Shaun if he noticed that everybody was all tense. He said that he did. Our Commander just walked up and asked if we were about to start and everybody was kinda shocked. He never talks to us right before roll-call. We thought we were about to get our asses handed to us. Turns out that Mids failed 2 pre-flights the night before and people were pissed. Our shift(Days)?.... well we ended the inspection with a 93% pass rate. The Commander wasn't really pissed.... it just seemed that way.

So I go down to ISO with Rocha and we clean up some paperwork and take a seat we took out the cockpit over to supply. No problem. Then we got with Shaun and Jerry and went to help them deliver some stuff to sheet metal to get fixed. By time it was lunch time I was starving. So I went to my locker to change and what happens.... F*cking Vance and the Expediter come up to me saying they need me to go cross base to get some air stairs.(its a truck with stairs on top. you see them when they show the President getting off of Air Force 1) I tell them I was heading out to lunch with some people but they insist that I go because apparently Vance can't "legally" drive on the flight line because his comp card is f*cked up(something he should've gotten fixed before the inspection!). So they say its only gonna take 15 mins.... go get it and drive it to the flight. Easy, right?

WRONG!!!

When we get dropped off... the f*cking truck's battery is dead and we end up waiting 30 minutes for MotorPol to come charge it. They only came after we had walked over and told them we were still waiting! By this time I getting called on the radio about where am I cause they're waiting on me to go to lunch. All in all it takes a whole hour to get everything done. I had a headache, was pretty pissed, and was very hungry.

We ate Chinese buffet.... very tasty!

So after lunch myself and Rocha get told to go tape up a plane for maintenance.... they just couldn't find anyone else huh? So we go do that and then we get told we have to go back and do more and that we were told to do something we didn't even have to. Nobody knows whats going on. Then they are rushing us to go and get ready to tow the plane in case of emergency. Which is around 2pm. By 4:30pm they still haven't showed up to do what they were supposed to. Then as I look out the hangar to the flight line.... I notice that the plane that landed isn't even using the F*CKING AIR STAIRS!!!

All that bs for nothing...

So then ISO is e-mailing my Flight Chief that me and Rocha haven't been down there all day. So he asks me all these questions(no I'm not in trouble) and he tells me next time if he sends me to ISO to work.... don't let anyone pull me outta ISO for any reason without clearing it with him first. He said it was my fault for doing what I was told.... just don't let people use my lower rank to make me do b*tch work cause they're lazy.

So I get back to the dorm and as I'm walking up to the chow hall I kinda see this man who's wearing a beret coming down the sidewalk. His uniform is ARMY but I have no idea where his rank is(plus I'm looking directly into the setting Sun as I approach him). Well turns out he's a Lt. Colonel and he was about 2 seconds away from b*cthing me out before I hit him with a salute and apologize for not doing it at first.

Personal message to him:"This is a Air Force base. Those are the Airmen Dorms. If you are an Officer... don't walk between our dorms. They are supposed to be our homes and we don't feel very comfortable with people messing with us around our homes. It is not very healthy to have to worry about saluting an Officer when you only have 2 minutes to get to the chow hall before you miss your dinner(which by the way I still get charged with regardless). So please no more dorms for you.... you're an Officer and you make 10 times as much as us.... why are you eating 3 dollar meals?

Sh*tty Day!
