Got caught being late... not good

This past tuesday I was expected to move into Brittney's apartment. That was until my squad leader found out that i was FTR to Sunday's recall formation... and bed-check the same day. Now the recall formation was not my fault seeing that I am new to Alabama and I am not familiar with Traffic laws. They would not net me in the front gate because my tags were expired and the registration could not be proven in official paperwork, but they were however able to check the registration and found it current. So instead of letting me go they gave me a ticket and held me 15 minutes longer and made me 15 minutes late.

 Now latter that day I was also late for bed check and well that was all my fault because I fell asleep and didn't make it back to the barracks in time. So as punishment for the FTR's I was to lose all my privileges for 2 weeks and I would not be able to go off post and spend time with my family. I later got 2 counseling statements that instructed me on my corrective training, to my surprise all I was to do was to write a 5 page essay on the importance of being on time. Now some of you probably think that it's not that bad but how many of you have really thought about how much 5 pages is and thats only so much you can say on the subject. This was also going to be read by my squad leader, who is an english fanatic. he really gets joy from making people suffer. Brittney and I spent 1 hour writing the essay then later that night I had to rewrite it in my own handwriting and that took me like 2 1/2 hours. But I got it done and he was very pleased with it. now tomorrow Brittney and I might be living together finally. I will also be graduating on July 10th. but my instructor has put us 17 days behind schedule. now I have to stay an extra hour after school to get caught up. It really sucks but thats the way things are. I hope that this week will be better and that there isn't any trouble getting off post to be with the family.
