Sorry I havent been in contact since the deployment ended but things have pretty much gone to shit for me. First there were demob problems that I could have handled better between myself and the powers that be at Ft. Bliss. This has led to a bunch of work shit that has finally played out and survivable.
Then my oldest daughter had an injury on the field playing soccer that meant a broken tailbone, bulging disks and out of school for two weeks, so I had to go up there to deal with that.
The latest in a string of events is that my birth mother who I reconnected with 2 years ago died of a massive heart attack in her sleep Tuesday night, and since then I have been driving across the state every day since trying to take care of all of this. Right now I am not in a very good place, there are LOTS of things that I am finding out about her that nobody should ever know about their parent, and that is just pinging my weird-o-meter right off the goddamn scale.
So basically I'm completely screwed mentally right now, and I'm supposed to be up in VA in a week and a half to go to my phase 2 BNCOC. Not sure whats gonna happen with that.
With this entire shit sandwich being fed to me with a giant spoon, unsurprisingly training has dropped to a standstill, and I may have to walk away from it all for a while...i just dont know
Anyway, just knew that I needed to let you all know whats going on, no I havent died or intentionally ignored anyone, just trying to shovel a 100 lbs of crap into a 10lb bag...
v/r,
your still trying to smile through it all friend,
