You Never Know...

Yesterday went very well at work. I feel more confident which helps me to speak up and look people in the eye. Always a plus. lol I also got a chance to see a situation which really irked me. I don't want to go into too many details, but I do want to explain it. Long story short, I saw some soldiers pull rank on a specialist. This specialist was following orders from his Sgt. and the majors and other sgts didn't like it. It felt like at least half of the bus was upset with him and vocalizing it. He did all he could to help them and then someone yelled out, "Well, you're just a specialist." Oh, it curdled my blood. My husband was 'just a specialist' for years. I'd heard the stories but never seen them. So after everyone got off, I told that specialist that I knew he was a real person with feelings and that I was impressed with how he handled the situation. I attempted to at least raise his spirit for a minute or two. lol No one deserves to be treated like that. Well, unless they've committed some awful crime. It made me so mad. It's things like that that affect a person more than we ever know and can result in suicide or other things. I hope that I can help with this job. I don't know what I'm allowed to do yet, but I'm keeping a good eye out to see. I want to make a difference. And to that specialist: YOU ROCK!!!
