basically, we had a troubled airman who was being discharged for spice use (it's incense that people smoke, not traceable but illegal for military) he named 45 other airmen when he was caught... but told those airmen he never said anything. when all those airmen got a copy of the police report, there was this airman's name pointing the finger at them.
So he doesn't have many friends. on top of that, he doesn't listen to us, so we have him sit in a chair for 12 hrs because that's all we trust him to do. well shit kinda hit the fan on Wed and he got his nose where it shouldn't have been.
A co-worker of mine was reprimanding him, and he was arguing with her. I got up and got loud, reminded him that he is an airman talking to an NCO (non commissioned officer) and that he was on his way out the door. all this happened in the presence of my supervisor, and the other NCO
That night the airman cut himself. and I was called in the next morning with my supervisor and the NCO who was originally reprimanding him and our asst Flight Chief. after my Squadron Commander listened to our side of the story, he stated "I don't think you crossed the line, I don't believe you did anything wrong. However we need to learn from this collectively." so we left his office at 1030 and headed back to work.
at 1730 I'm called into my asst. flight chief's office and told my Group Commander(my squadron commander's boss) said I'm no longer an MTL. I was furious. I mean how does it go from me doing nothing wrong to your not an MTL anymore.
longer story long... I wasn't fired... my asst flight chief (who's a complete piece of shit) made that part up and now considering I showed up to meet my commander with out my rope and he asked me why, is probably gonna end up in a world of hurt.
they had to do an investigation and interview the airman around (none could hear) but didn't want me there, as it could "influence" the outcome. that I understand.
still not sure I want this job if an airman does something drastic and my head goes straight to the chopping block ya know? especially AFTER my commander says I was in the right.
sorry... still a bit fired up about it.
but yeah gotta see if I can afford the ride up and back. are we camping?
