I'll start with the bad. My view on JROTC has gone from bad to worse. They can no longer dick around with me as I couldn't give a shit anymore. As many of you recall, I was told I was given a position last school year but had it put on delay after someone's shitty ass cocksmocking parents called in and bitched that their asslicking pothopping piece of shit was better for the position and that I wasn't because I hadn't attended anything (hello? I did. ARE YOU FUCKING SPYING ON ME, COCKSMOKER?). So I get in contact with my instructors several times over the summer only to be told the same thing over and over: I would have to wait later to find out. I was told the decision would be cast at the end of the summer. As this year progresses, I ask once every 2-3 weeks what decision has been made, but the answer is always the same. There will be more talk made on it. This does me jack shit. Frankly, I couldn't care how much the instructors talk so long as they never do anything. So fuck it. I don't really give two shits. I'll stop attending all the activities and going out of my way to be an example and model cadet. Now it'll just be another class I milk for good grades that also allows me to get out of the gym requirement. I hope to never get lured into trusting those people again.
Now for the good news. I recently joined a new Civil Air Patrol squadron. They need a few good cadets to run this new thing. Since I have the most JROTC experience, I've been chosen as XO (Executive Officer) for my squadron. This is effective immediately. Now. Not later. I am being trained for it now. Also, new changes are going into place to change the name from Civil Air Patrol to Air Force Auxiliary and to make it a small part of homeland security. Additionaly, third year cadets of JROTC can test to be an officer immediately upon joining. This makes me happy.
For those of you who don't know what this means, I'll sum it up. JROTC bad. CAP good.
I <3 Steel Battalion!
