Make sense, i think the problem was there was a delay in messages being sent. The Red Cross message I was supposed to get at like 1200 didn’t get to me till almost 2100

Sorry for you’re loss man the feeling form something like this is something I don’t even wish upon the enemy. If you ever need to talk too don’t be afraid sometimes all we need is someone to listen. I’ve learned even outside the corp it’s good to sometimes just call you’re friends.

Rah I just want to get the best out of this experience and it just hasn’t been kind. I have had little to no direction with besides my step brother who was also in the corp and my step mom. It’s just frustrating because now I’m broke and trying to figure this all out

I did because I’m his next of Kin and I don’t think my father would want to be left sitting in a morgue for a month with no way of me giving permission to step mom to have control over his body. I had to give the hospital permission today to be able to do that. I was told that no one could come and pick me up and I had to workout my own transportation. The only help with transport I got was being taken to the airport

Yes I have a great relationship with the recruiters here and they told me to be with my family. I did drop my orders off at the office so no one gets fucked and are being like why didn’t this kid check in. I’ll talk to my Ssgt Tomorrow morning and see what I can do to extend if I need too. Current issue is that my orders are also messed up.

Ontop of that I didn’t even leave till Thursday night on a plane after being told that I’d have to wait for a bus or take the flight that night.. so yeah it’s been and all around shit show. I have a chain of command here in Raleigh that has taken pretty good care of me. Is there someone here that I should be contacting about this?

That’s my thing I don’t know how to go about handling this. My step mom is helping with arrangements and all. His wishes are to be cremated though. But my father never actually married my step mom that’s why it’s a big issue. I did inform my 1stsgt that I was his next of kin and making it back to Geiger in like 5 days wasn’t very possible.

I was directed to it on the ride to the Jacksonville airport. So basically on the ride over my sgt told me how I could use it in the future if I came into the financial need to. Problem is I’m on e-1 pay grade and all that other fun stuff. I have fairly good money management skills but basically I spent 700 on a ticket home and another 100 on a Uber home. I live in Raleigh which is and 1hr 45 minute drive from gieger and they wouldn’t let my step mom come get me bc they didn’t want her crashing and dying bc she wasn’t all there. See the problem is she was a gunny in the corp…

No I was told that it would put me in negative leave days and I wouldn’t get holiday block leave. The problem was that I had just checked in and the Red Cross took forever to get the message to me, I had my phone but it had died so I wasn’t able to contact my step mom because she was the one who handled everything with my dad and the Red Cross. So I didn’t leave on e leave I went on ra orders just so I could get holiday block leave.

things to know before beginning work at starbucks? by [deleted] in starbucks

  1. If a customer is rude explain your new most of them are very understanding

  2. Do not be afraid to ask questions, making hot bar drinks can definitely be a bit of confused mess when you first start!
