Just needed to get this out of my head, because it was bothering me a bit- deploying as small a group as we are, there are a lot of things that overlap when it comes to jobs, and getting stuff done in the motorpool. We just dont have enough bodies to really handle it all- especially with additional duties- but weve managed it so far, and we really are at the tail end of things. I know how hard the guys work- and quite simply I dont know jack about mechanics. I help out here and there with small things, but in the large scale of the work-its those few individuals who really make the difference on the floor. They work their asses off, doing more physical while my job is mostly mental. I recognize that, and its because of that- that I normaly do not as a personal rule (and hate doing so in the first place) complaining in public about being tired, or overworked or whatever. I feel I dont have a place to, honestly. Two great guys Im lucky to have gotten to know had to stay back to take care of some business late last night- and I felt bad about leaving in the first place, to the point where it was even awkward to say bye to them for the night. My point, if anything, is that in my head, I know how things stand, I know how difficult stuff has been in regards to the workplace and what not- and that I am thankful to work with the people I do regardless, in the end of it all. Close to the end, and this second deployment has done quite a bit to become memorable- and Im glad for the company I have.
