Legal Assistance

When this last run in with the ever lovely Mrs. W happened I was very close to my ETS date, in other words, it was time for me to leave Germany.  You have to out processes from any unit and that can take up to two weeks, especially overseas.  I wasn't quite that close to leaving --but close enough.

The next day I was called into the Master Sergeant's office and he told me it was time to leave Crim Law.  He might as well told me it was time to put up my child I had taken care of for 18 months.  Crim Law WAS my baby.  And though the Master Sergeant was trying to pretend I just needed to move on because it was soon time for me to leave, I knew SSG W and I could no longer work together.  I kept asking MSG what I did wrong and he assured me nothing --I pleaded with him to be straight with me.  He told me the Captain had come to him and told him what happened and under the circumstances, he felt SSG W was no longer able to be impartial and fair in any treatment towards me and that he was not trying to punish me but protect me.  I told him I felt SSG W should be the one to get reassigned, no me but he explained because of SSG W's rank, he had no other position to give him and there were other places I could move to.

I got reassigned to Legal Assistance which I HATED!  We had one civilian attorney that was a very very very strange man.  He was kind of creepy like.  I didn't like him.  We had a civilian secretary---more on her later.  We also had a Germany attorney but she never talked to anyone.  She'd go to her office, shut the door and be in there all day --never surfacing for air.  I'm not sure what she even did but on occasion we'd hear here sputtering German so I assumed she did some phone work --or just talked to herself.  Sometimes she'd ask something of the secretary but very rarely.  She never once spoke one word to me or even acknowledged my presence in the office.  Like I said, I HATED Legal Assistance.  And other than covering the phones while the secretary went to lunch, there was absolutely NOTHING for me to do.

I hated it!!!
