Argh! I work with Idiots!!!

OK in my time in the Army I have had several positions. I have been a helicopter mechanic, done administrative duties, I have done numerous communications jobs. My last position was several positions in one. It was admin, leadership, communications, training, I was darn near a parent to about a hundred adults. If they whined I had to take care of them. I did a very good job. I am now in charge of training over 100 people in my own unit and over 300 people in 3 other units as well. The person that took over my job has had struggles. I have helped him as much as I possibly could while doing my own job. The biggest problem is that he just does not learn. Nothing, Nada, zilch, can't remember a thing from month to month. This evening we had a meeting to go over the plan for our upcoming exercise. He was there for the first few min and then left! This is his meeting, he is supposed to run it! He left! I couldn't believe it. Lately he has missed several things that are major parts of his job. OK we are in the military this is not a job to be in if you have thin skin. This is not the job to have if you don't understand there are going to be some sacrifices. There are going to be times that you miss things with the family, sports games, band or chorus concerts, birthdays, anniversaries. It just happens, you suck it up and get over it. He seems to have either forgotten that too or just doesn't care anymore. I really wanted to hit him and tell him to suck it up and get over it. I instead vented to one of my co-workers but was over heard by another co-worker that decided to call and tell this pansy I was calling him a pansy. I actually used stronger words but you get the picture. Well he tried to call me and whine, I ignored his phone call and he tried to call my co-worker that I vented to, he ignored his call to. He finally got our boss to answer his call, I almost feel bad for my boss because he drives from NJ to the middle of DE every day, so he has a 3 hour commute. It gave him something to break up his drive. Well after my boss stroked his ego and got him to calm down my boss calls me and tells me I have to talk to him tomorrow cause he is fragile. I told my boss I am going to tell him he is a pansy and to suck it up and be a man. He chose this job and can at any time quit and go to something else. He wont do it and I am no longer going to coddle him. He can grow up and handle what needs to be done or get a new job. I have missed more things that I will never get to re-create or live through. I have missed more things for my kids than I can count and I know I will miss more. I treasure every event I can make it to for my kids. I know the oldest one gets upset when I miss events but I know she treasures the events I do get to see and or go to. I chose this job, it is in my heart what I know I am here to do. I am good at it, I really am, that is not cockiness it is just the truth. I just want my fellow Soldiers to act like it. OK I am done venting. Have a great night!
