A Dear john FTA F..k the army attitude [View all]

My I phone rang 0200 this morning, trooper drunk of his ass calling me from Bragg. He caught the dear John he was crying angry and drunk, I listened to him vent. She his fiancé has returned the engagement ring to his mom , he wants to come home and talk to her to reason with her. Asking me to go and try and talk with her, I told him that is not going to happen from my end.

He is was talking of awol option I told him stop that talk you owe Uncle Sam another 38 months. Do not be getting caught up in awol over a woman and ucmj, you wanna go to RASP pre RANGER then onto the RANGER COURSE I hear your pain but in the long run. Speaking from experience this is a much better option do it alone, you do not need a relationship as a pfc. you know you been busy since you got to 82nd. And just wrap your head around fact that relationship is over , His reply it hurts and drunk sobs and tears.

I tried to be compassionate with him but the reality with his situation no getting around it. You just cannot quit the Army and he wants to excel. And he can by going to schools uuugh 19 years old and in love. He has been following advice I told him even though you run PT 5 days week hit gym at night stay out of the bars. Get ready for Ranger school physically I gave him same advice I was given by a fine E-7 to me in 84 as a pfc. and that advice was sound advice after we were dismissed from last formation I’d go and run hit the gym because I wanted my Ranger tab I wanted to attend that fine leadership school. Never got to I broke ankle twice was taken off jump status. Then caught PCs to mech unit west Germany and I told troop this and I said hey I still soldiered on. I said go rack out wake up in morning go get breakfast go to movie just get over her. His reply sobbing drunk I love her ,oh brother if I could hold the kid I would I’ve seen guys I served with in same pain.
