Thread: Concerned

Cam, you're the man. And you wonder why I call you my best mate.. I'm glad everything has been sorted.

Tussock - that was such a great explanation! I have been having a super shite week. Things don't normally get me down but like we all know, sometimes it's the straw that breaks the camel's back. I started off on a bad foot on Sunday and things just got worse this week. I'm home now and feel like I only have a few little glimmers of light to look forward to but I will try harder to keep my eyes on the prize! I may be near alone in this big city but I have a lovely partner who understands me and good friends I can always call on the phone. Reading your thoughts and experiences puts things in perspective. I obviously just need to get out there and shoot a big stag to lighten my spirits!!!!

Army boys I think you may understand the situation I've gone through this week - I have been honest about one of my peers' actions and that has put me in a bit of a situation. Honesty and intregity are two of my life values and I have stuck to them....but I am also loyal and it makes me feel like shit when these values come head to head. At the end of the day I have been honest about this person's decisions and it has resulted in him feeling betrayed and now spread to the troops and their parents. Hopefully when the red smoke clears it will be apparent that I have only tried to be true to myself and do things for the greater good of our unit. For now though I am the unpopular bad guy who wants to 'bring us down', when really I hope to set an example to my boys that sometimes it is really hard to take the path of integrity but at the end of the day it's just what you have to do if you want to be at peace with yourself. You may loose some followers (gosh I really feel like I've lost them all!) but in time they may come back and you will meet other people that respect what you've done.

Sorry to hijack the thread Cam but anyway, thanks dudes, my internet friends haha. And Cam good stuff for sticking to your guns, no pun intended. I am sure one day your mate will thank you.
