>>3888412I had every single person in my company vouching for me, telling the ltc I was our best specialist, deserved to be an nco, made one small mistake on an otherwise perfect record. Got slammed by my battery cpt who is liked by no one and does not give a single damn about his subordinates opinions. Acted like a complete child and begged for us to be maxed. ltc had to accommodate for him so as not to undermine, now I'm dropped two ranks and have a ton of extra duty and no pay. Lots of work down the drain. I'm at the end of my contract in 8 months, so if his conduct isn't corrected I'm just leaving. I'll go somewhere I can actually be allowed to do the right thing, and help people other than power tripping psychos. Terrible leadership is the bane of retention after all.
