Well its been a craaaaaaaaaaaaazy couple weeks ya'll.

 

I was in class a couple weeks ago and the itching just became absolutely intolerable.  Even during musters id be standing as if doin the pee dance it was absurd.  So i went to the doctor the following day and was given some pills and cream.  Doc said it was jock itch and im gonna kill it from inside out and outside in.  I was ecstatic cause even the doc after i unzipped and had my manhood fall out nearly to the floor (lol) and he saw the peeling and inflammation.  Well it was a week's worth supply of pills so i had to try to braze it out till it kicked in.  Well that didnt last long at all.  EARLY that sunday morning  I woke up dick on FIRE.  for the last few nights at the stroke of midnight no joke id wake up dick on fire itchin.  Couldnt take it anymore.  i got dressed and quietly so as not to wake up my roommate (it was 2am cst) i went downstairs and asked the petty officer in charge bein i was a duty driver if i could so as not to wake up anyone else take myself to the hospital.  He said due to liability reasons i couldnt so another duty driver had to take me to the VA.  I check in and they draw blood for tests and give me a shot of benadryl to stop the itchin.  Yeah well dick still on fire that didnt work but gave me a huge buzz.  Told the doc how the only way i was able to get to sleep was to dab alcohol all over my dick  It burned slightly but at the same time felt sooooooo good cause it was actually doin somethin, like icy hot lol.  Got pills of benadryl incase the itchin becomes intolerable again (uh yeah i was still itchin THEN!) and told to check in wit medical back on base the following day.  Although not wantin to due to missing school i went ahead and went to medical the next day (monday) where although they didnt have the blood results back they diagnosed me not only with Jock Itch, but also with Eczema.  So my dick was havin a double dose of problems with the eczema all over my body.  Got cream for that as well as thick greasy type lotions and told to apply those as well.  By the time weds came around and the jock itch cream and pills had run out the itching had subsided!  I was sooooooooooo relieved then i started to work on the eczema wit the other cream and that took care of all that.

 

I continued on wit school and bein tortured by the various petty officers wit egos, marchin the school's cole students around the base for not cadancing loud enough or marching in step.  I still had my LLD (light limited duty) chit recovering from my dick situation so i was exempt from  havin too since it was still very raw.  I was set to graduate 3/11 but on 3/9 a chief comes in the room midday and calls out my name.  I turn around from my monitor... Harris.  he tells me "you need to wrap it up" (referring to completing the course) i am floored.  I tell'em ok.... well im ahead in day status by 5 days, i go to open learning EVERY DAY including weekends and even on fridays where those ahead in day status can go back to the barracks after lunch, i always came back and continued to work.  He says "so? theres students who comp'd 30 days ahead." i turn around like whatever dude and say "oooook".  Im PISSED the rest of the day cause of those BEHIND in their course studies and none of them got called out, yet me, one of the hardest workers and he's tellin ME i need to hurry up and finish.  So i do what i didnt want to and started just clickin my way through the remaining 2 courses and takin the tests to "wrap it up".

 

Doin so i comp'd the course tuesday at 8:15am.  To graduate that day you had to do so before 9am.  I go downstairs and waaaaaaait and waaaaaait till round 10am a petty officer comes down and starts dividin us up into work groups.  I raise my hand and ask him, what about the LLD's? (according to my chit im not permitted on working parties.) he tells me, it doesnt matter you WILL sweep and swab.  This was totally a violation and i wasnt gonna risk re-injuring myself in ANY way cause these clowns aint gonna pay to help me if i get discharged on a b.s. injury.  they gonna continue about their business cause all we are is just another number to them.  completely disposable.  So i gather my things and go seek out the chaplin to get advice on what i should do.  The chaplin wasnt in but they send me to another room to talk to the facility operator.  That person wasnt in but another was so i showed him my LLD chit and he tells me i cant do the work.  So i call a duty driver and go sit in the office for over an hour.  no one arrived so me and another guy decided to walk back to the barracks.  I decide though to check in wit my a-school since it was on the way and as i get there i see the others who were on the working parties wit their graduation ish.  They tell me they just got'em so i end up goin BACK to the schoolhouse where i have to seek out the p.o. who split us into the working parties.  I knock and sound off.  He leans back in his chair.  "why do you guys make me do this to you?"  do what petty officer? "what did i ask you to do?" join a working party petty officer.  "and why didnt you?"  because i am LLD and my chit tells me NO working parties so i sought advice out from the chaplin and the facilities operator who told me NO so ive been sittin in the office.  he leans forward and tells me to step out his office.  I already know whats comin next.  like a prick who loves drama hes gonna slam the door for dramatic purposes like im gonna feel soooooooooooo demoralized and sad.  So i smile and walk out the door a safe distance away f/the door so he can make himself feel big by slammin it.  He does so and i stand by waitin for'em to come riiiiiiiight on back a few minutes later.  He does, and asks to see my chit.  I give it to'em and he politely closes the door as he reviews it.  He reeeopens and asks me to come back in.  I go in, he asks "do you feel comfortable discussing with me what your medical condition is?" i tell'em i certainly do NOT.  im feelin that its a total violation of privacy.  He thinkin im bein defiant says "ok, well lets go talk to the chief!" i dunno what kinda people this dude deals with that i guess he thinks im gonna just collapse and plead for mercy and beg to not have this go any further.  So we waaaaaaaaaalk on down to their office and i standby outside while he goes in there like a lil tattle-tale and tells the chief his side of the story.  He calls me in and of course theres gotta be not 1 but 3 chiefs in there at their desks.  Im like heeeeeeeeeeeere we go.  Firing range.  All 3 around about to a** rape me and he's gonna standby wit a smile and get thrown his doggy biscuit and petted.  I stand at attention and let them fire off at me and make threats of bein UA (unexplained absence) or a DRB (duty review board).  They ask how old i am. 28.  "28? and you wanna play these stupid games?! youre 10yrs older than the avg student id expect you to be a leader!" i let'em go oooooooon and onnnnnnnnnnnn like i was in the wrong, the whole time theyre holding my LLD chit in hand knowing it was still legit and thereby they couldnt touch me.  They finally ask. "whats wrong wit you? is it your feet?" no chief.  "your legs??" no chief. "your groin?? your back??" yes chief.  "well? are you still broke?" yes chief.  "this chit is set to expire have you even made an appt to go back to the doctor yet?" no chief.  "why not?? see you wanna play games huh?!" no chief, i was visited by the chief 2 days ago (it was one of the chiefs sittin right there in the office) and he told me i needed to wrap it up so my focus was to comp the course and move on and follow up wit the doctor thereafter.  Them knowing all air was now out their sails ask what should they do wit me.  "did he disrespect you?" the p.o. says "no, he just didnt respect me he just went over my head."  Im careful not to give expression and stay at attention but im thinkin in my head how full of ish that was for the fact i RAISED my hand and asked him what about LLD's and he TOLD me "it doesnt matter you WILL sweep and swab". yeah thats right leave out your violation error there bud.  The chief then tells him to give me my file and let me go.  In parting words after rippin me a new hole the chief tells me to go back to the doc and get my chit updated and take it easy!  what the heck????  I walk out so pissed and angry i go back to my a-school and give'em my file and go for a walk tears in eyes so upset over what happened and havin to just sit there and take the ish only because someone was there longer than i have their word goes over mine.  Im just a pee on student. 

 

I go back to the doc the following day for the check up and they tell me the blood results were negative and that all looked to be clearing up well (eczema is just treated not cured though) I check back in wit the a-school cause im not tryin to be on hold any more than i have to be.  The next day i go back to duty driving which was nice to keep my mind at ease and get me out of hold's pergatory.  in one of my runs i ended up ridin wit a petty officer in my barracks who is in charge of those classin up, so i ask'em did he know how long the wait was for my school.  He tells me he'd call for me and ask i was elated, we go back and he gets me classed up for the next day! i was like heeeeeeeeecks ya! the clock keeps runnin it dont stop! 

 

Friday comes and i go to the schoolhouse and go through the indoc but they dont have a classrm ready for us so tell us to report back on Monday am.  We go back to the barracks and i try to sleep off a migraine i had gained in the schoolhouse.  It didnt go away till 1am the next morning which sucked. which leads me to now i dont have my class yet so so schoolwork till monday so watchin shows online!  went to the nex and got some items for school and hopin to get the taxes done this weekend.

 

Family is ok.  Son is doin so much better wit the tubes in his ears that the ear infections are gone finally and the pneumonia as well.  Daughter still havin asthma bouts and had a slight ear infection recently but that went away.  The scariest part was last week wifey went to the ER 2x with seizures shes NEVER had before ever.  Doc told her a few days ago it was due to an enlarged blood vessel in her head caused by stress.  I feel so bad for her and worried because it was sudden onset and unexpected.  Keep her in your prayers.  Ill check in wit you again soon and let you know how my a-school is finally comin along!
