Another day at work..inspired by my shipmates..

Another day at work- inspired by my shipmates..
  Ok, you have heard about the toilets overflowing on a constant basis , the food tasting horrible , the place having many weird and annoying smells , but the constant mental and emotional stress is what gets me and my shipmates. Try to imagine , you bust your ass , work hard , get everything done on time, Yea, you get praised but at the same time you get a foul mouthed , abusive rant every freaking day. To be honest it gets old and it's totally unprofessional and demeaning. I mean people today , are more educated , more informed and at times less tolerant for such daily rants. I know at times we get angry at our younger counter parts, but daily angry rants are not the cure. How about advice or instruction on how to do things instead of deadlines , threats and mental stress placed on our guys and girls in the Military. Its stressful enough to be away from family and friends and things you like to do , then you have a lunatic running wild with vicious and demoralizing comments that even a veteran like myself get offended and less interested in helping that person. I mean , we all want promotions and advancements and recognition , but calling out people and pointing out mistakes is not only counter productive , but not in the good interest of morale or team building. But that's what i go through on a daily basis, and to be honest I don't blame these young guys and girls , deciding to choose a different career path. The Military is and will always be a dictatorial type of career and the sooner not later you realize that , the better off you are in continuing your career or choosing a much less stressful and more quality of life career choice. Its bad enough you deal with a work space that is old , moldy , stinky , dirty and always breaking down. But you have to deal with the daily insults and demoralizing comments about your work ethic , appearance and attitude. They wonder why people are not motivated , well if the leaders showed more leadership actions than perhaps everyone else would respect and follow suit. I'm the type that leads by example , I never ask anyone do do something I wouldn't do myself. But that's me, and in today's armed services you see less of that style and more of the Do it or else style that is more prevalent among the services. Well another day at work means , alot of work , little time., alot of expectations and stress placed on top of stress. I know when my career is done , next year I will be able to slow down, a little , but I still have kids to raise , college to pay for and weddings and grand kids to think about and pay for.. What a life ? But I wouldn't trade it for anything else, I love my wife and my kids and I'm looking forward to the Golden years of mu life, taking vacations, treating my grand kids out and of course having time with my Dream Car The Camaro.. but that's in the future , but for now.. I have daily rants and tasking I need to attend to , as well as preparing for more underways and exercises and drills that many of you have no clue about. But that's, those who did the time and know my life , Keep praying for me. because I am definitely being tested beyond any command or duty station  I have aver been assigned too. I living the dream.. but at times it seem like a living hell or a nightmare.. lol.. THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
