Well, we found out today that Tim didn't get staff sgt. It's pretty rare to get staff this early in an enlistment so we aren't really surprised, but what is frusterating is that there was a couple people who made it who Tim had actually trained...So we don't know what happened. The only thing we can think of is they have been in service about a month longer then Tim. Who knows?
Also, they are finally trading some guys out of the Help Desk and they wanted to give Tim first choice since he's been there so bloody long and he's the best troop there, but since Tim is working on the trade, they passed him over. So even if the trade does not go through, he's still stuck at the Help Desk.
The trade hasn't moved forward at all, so no news there.
Tim has been throwing around the idea that if we don't get the trade, he may volunteer for deployment because it is so, SO miserable here at work for him. Deployment was hard, but it's far and away better then life now.
Yesterday I went in to get a yearly physical and pap test. The physical went well, everything is normal and healthy. My next appointment, for the pap test, was cancelled (though they didn't call me) so I had to reschedule again. This is the second reschedule I've had to do on the stupid appointment. I was joking with Tim saying that at this rate I would die of cervical cancer before even being tested for it. :P
Anyway, I am looking forward to doing something fun this weekend and head up to Charleston, but other then that, there really is nothing else going on. 'Til later then.

Holly, does Tim not getting Staff Sargeant mean that he won't have to worry about taking over his supervisor's old job so it won't possibly get in the way of the trade? Is this a good thing in a way?
