In cases like this.... simply put, someone down the line screwed
up, and you're gonna suffer if you don't scream at the injustice
that's gonna be meted upon you.
I once nearly got charged for AWOL for my last ICT. Why? The
system that my division was using recorded me down as 'absent' in
the first two days of ICT.
The thing is, I already had an SAF 100 telling me to skip the
first two days of ICT and to attend medic refresher training at
SMTI.
On top of that, my division HQ sent me a letter (signed by some
LTC) telling me the same thing.
On top of that, the day before my ICT, some DXO called me up
personally to tell me the same thing.
Unfortunately, not everyone in charge got the message. As a
result, in the middle of my medic refresher training, I got an
angry call from some bugger threatening to charge me for AWOL.
Well, they couldn't do anything. I had the documents, after
all. Same goes for you.... toss the MC in their faces and
holler at 'em.
so how did the bugger react? act blurred and say sorry or not?
