Well, there are other circumstances leading to me being angry. Firstly, they have known for sometimes my wish to deploy and instead they put me in a group that isnt slated to be elligable to deploy until next year. I have volunteered for anything that comes up in this years slot though.
My anger may be premature and thats the reason I havent brought it up with upper management. As some people have mentioned there may be something else. Overhearing my supervisors talk to each other I got the distinct feeling I wasnt high on the list of people to be filling slots.
I am going to wait it out before I start to fill out paperwork to get to another base but I just have a feeling that I am not going anywhere if my superiors have anything to say about it.
Bitboy, when official word was released of the slot I told my Super that I would like to volunteer for it and anything else that came up. But when upper management get word of slots they pass them on as soon as possible to us, so they cant know of any slot in the future.
I think this is just the tipping point in a whole list of problems I have with my squadron and the people I work for/with. After being here for a year I am just starting to get the impression that I am seen as a stepping stone by upper management to get the Oak Leaf or extra stripe. I know that the whole Air Force isnt like that.
The reason I am so keen on going this time is because I hope to be cross-training in January '07 so will be in training for that whole year and then have to do all the upgrade training for that career.
Did you make it crystal clear to them that you woud have been happy with Florida, despite what you had said previously?
