Sometimes things don't work out

Most things in the army are not logical.
That is one thing in common most people can tell you that are serving.
I wanted to go to this course called Nativ.  It is a two month course where you learn about Judaism and Israeli History. I gave my officer plenty of notice and was guaranteed a place in the course. It would be a nice two month vacation from the real army and a really nice way to finish my service.  I got a call this week from my officer saying that I will not be attending the course due to a mix up.  She was apologetic but I blew up.

She said I was right and justified for feeling the way I do- but that doesn't help me at all.

I have endured a lot of emotional turnovers ...

but this is the most obnoxious.


I know it was a mistake to get my hopes up for this course but I work hard and expect them to see it.

The difference between the army and regular employment is that on sunday if you don't feel like coming in you can call a sick day. in the army that doesn't fly.
I am getting out in Oct 3. and right now it feels like years away. I am so frustrated.



I just wish something would work out and I knew what I would do in the future.
