About a year ago I got in accident and got a minor traffic ticket(only one I’ve ever gotten) and I did the driving course to get it off my record. I come off “court supervision” in October. This was before I had a cdl I just got my cdl with all endorsements except passenger and no restriction. Since this happened before I got my cdl and in a POV will this affect me getting a job?
So recently I found out I was promotable (national guard) to my sgt. I was happy at first then came to realize they ain’t giving me it. I got told by a Ssgt that they already had their 10 picks for promotable soldiers. I have never been late once to a formation or to drill, hell I’ve never gotten a bad counseling. I’m always ontop of everything I need to do and helping people out. I recently even mobbed to Europe for 16 months(I extended) came back expecting to be on a leadership position so I could grow as a soldier and future leader. Nope! I got passed over by another soldier who went on deployment with me didn’t run a single mission and just did some fuel ops in another country. I ran missions and even did conops to try and prep for becoming a sgt. At this point, I just feel disrespected and unwelcome at my unit and transferring isn’t an option as the next 88m unit is 300 miles up north. Last thing I’ll add to my rant is the fact the guard got rid of hotels?? They told me I can stay in another units armory(which doesn’t have a shower btw) because ours is unsafe even though for the past 4 years they have paid my hotels as I drive 5 hours for drill. It just feels like army has lost its shine for me. Just ready to get out boss, I’ll take a cup of coffee.
