He threatened me with a letter of reprimand for something that he IMAGINED
that I had done.  I went to the ADC and was informed that he didn't need
any evidence.  What had I done?  I rested my forehead on my hand while I
proofread a report.  I wasn't even thinking about him.  He decided that was
a gesture of disrespect.  Not because of the fact that I went back to work
when I realized that the conversation didn't involve me, but because I
rested my head on my hand when I went back to work.  And if I had tried to
tell him to shove it... Well, I doubt that I'd still be in Leavenworth.

In the civilian world, if I had a boss like that I could tell him he was an
*ssh*le and threaten to walk.  One of three things would happen; 1) he'd
fire me; 2) he'd ignore me and I'd walk; or 3) a miracle, and he'd get
better.  Now admittedly, 3 is highly unlikely, but I'd still have the
freedom to leaving.

As it is, I was very lucky that situation was temporary.

Get real, kid.  All you needed to do is say,"Fine.  Court-martial me."

He would have backed down faster than a snake can slither.  Contrary to
popular (enlisted) opinnion, and I were one, officers are not COMPLETE
fools.
