Alas....

Well... for those of you that know me, You know I have been trying to get to my Promotion Boards to get my E-5 or Sergeant rank in the army. See... the Army works on this point system for your E-5 and E-6 (Which are pay grades for those who don't know... I am currently and E-4) You earn points through Physical training, Army training,Military and civillian education, and various other ways they can get you to work harder. You can earn a maximum of 800 points. To get promoted, each job has a point level at which they promote. If we need more Sergeants that are medics, points drop... making it easier to get the promotion. I have PLENTY of points. Lets just say I am somewhere above the 600 mark.... which is pretty good for my time in service. But I have to appear before a board and do a horse and pony show. I have to sit and answer these questions about the army that I have been studying for MONTHS. And I was suppossed to go in January... then February.... Then March... and Not, since BOTH of my supervisors are on leave... I don't have anyone to "present" me to the board. So I now wait till March... *growls* Anyway.... just ranting cause I am frustrated.
