I don't want to get involved in your guys dispute but I find it interesting that 2 Military veterans are going at each other like this, I know you guys have an obvious dislike of each other right now but I bet you guys have more in common than you think, both of you sacrificed and served 20+ years for this country.
More in common than we may think? Nope........sorry. The only place on my evaluations where I scored less than 4.0 was in my relationship to those who were higher rank than me, because I'd score 3.6 or 3.8, as I had a problem with people who were above me telling me bullshit as truth.
If I had the manuals behind me, I'd fight tooth and nail against ANYONE, no matter if they were officers or chiefs. Why? Because the rules are there for everyone, not just those that are lower rank than you. On my last ship, I had to fight weekly with some idiot Supply Officer who thought because he was a CDR, he was always right. Good thing I did too, because one time he tried to get me to fudge an AMCROSS message sending someone home on emergency leave. If I would have done as he said to do, poor fucker would have been stuck in Sigonella for a week.
I also took on an E-8 on a regular basis at the MEPS in Amarillo. Why? Because he was trying to shove applicants and kits through that were incomplete or just plain fucked up. I'd get a call from San Antonio and MCPO Garza about 3 times a week because I was always pissing off the SCPO due to the fact that he didn't make his recruiters do their stuff properly. Ever try to steer someone into a job that isn't what their recruiter promised to them (recruiters aren't supposed to do that), but they're ineligible due to color blindness (makes you ineligible for electronics fields and any aviation), or low ASVAB scores, or too many arrests? What's even worse, is the recruiter promising a job like Corpsman in the middle of summer is the WORST, because that job usually only available from October (beginning of the fiscal year) to around mid April, early May. Those billets fill up FAST for the year.
No. I don't think that I'd have anything in common with Stupid Fuck Called Ollie, because he sounds like one of them chiefs that sits in the goat locker and lets everyone else do their job for them.
Well I tried....
