Certainly not a waste,, especially if you're trying to serve our country, I suspect it will get fixed pretty quickly..

honestly i have had to contact a congressman(can't rember who for the life of me) before and auctually got a response fairly fast. mine had a guy with the USERRA listed in the response. i contacted him and within 2 weeks i had my situation resolved. with nothing else to loose may as well, good luck buddy

I'll sit down and write him tonight and send it tomorrow. With any luck maybe I can, at the very least, be a grunt. I'd rather do something useful that will transfer to civilian life, but even if all I get is my head blown off, at least it's in the name of freedom. And my kids will be well taken care of. More than I can do for them right now.

Don't write, call his office. If you can't find the number, let me know. It's around here somewhere. Over the years I have had a lot of contact with Lugar's office. My experiences have all been positive and it sure couldn't hurt to try it. I will also let my LEO husband know about this and see if he has any suggestions. Sorry you are having such a hard time.

hey, have you applied for unemployment yet? if not DEFINATELY do so, i had to swallow my pride when i did(i'm not saying that is the case with you) but any supplement untill you can get back on your feet will help you and your family through a difficult time.

you have worked hard enough and long enough, as long as you don't use it as a crutch there is nothing wrong with it

Yea, i think I'll call and if I don't get through tomorrow I'll just write him and see where it takes me. I just can't believe these damn recruters. They sat right there in front of me and TOLD me they were laughing about me the FIRST time around after I had left, and then was a real asshole about the whole thing, AND THEN AS I WAS WALKING OUT THE DOOR started cracking up laughing saying "I can't believe that guy came back in here and..." and then the door shut as they were going on and on. I knew i had a pissed off look because some Navy guy looked at me in pure astonishment as I was storming to the van. I think I said this is BS as I walked out the door, and that's when he looked at me crazy.

ANYWAY.... you'd think they'd be ready to take ANYONE since we're on the verge of another war with {insert country of evil here}. I just don't get it. 3 agencies show I'm good to go. One doesn't. What's the freaking problem. GRRRR.......

That's a great name to do things in, but it's more effective to kindly accommodate an enemy willing to part with his head.

Blessings.

I applied. I figure it'll take 2-6 weeks before I find anything out. At least it comes from my temp agency and not the Government. Makes me feel a LITTLE better. But I still won't see it if I get it for a while. By then I'm screwed anyway unless something comes through for me. I guess if I have to flip burgers then I gotta do it. Problem is I already burned all those types of jobs locally a long time ago. I'll have to go to Avon or Moorsetucky to work. That won't even buy my gas every week. I gotta get my truck sold. $450 dollars or a RUNNING dirt bike or Fix mine and my truck is yours! It's in the classifeds for details!
