Okay, I know I said that last post would be the final post on this subject but the more I think about this the more mad I get about this. I email the FRG with a concern and they turn around and forward that email to command in Afghanistan. She is always the one who says to email or call with any concerns or just to vent. So I do and now the FRG makes a public matter with her husband and command in Afghanistan. I did not include any information that had any barring on command in Afghanistan just simply voicing my concerns and requesting any information she had available. There was no reason for her to forward the email. Simply a wife with concerns going to the only person I know to go to and now she has broken any trust between myself and the FRG. I thought the FRG was suppose to help and support the families back home not piss everyone off. I am not the first person to voice complaints about the FRG and I am sure I will not be the last. The email she sent me back confirming my soldier had phone privileges would have sufficed, there was no reason to make it a public email to command in Afghanistan. If she took my email as a personal attack on her or her husband that was not my intent. Like I don't have enough to worry about now I have to worry if Chris will get his ass reamed because an email I sent to the FRG in confidence that it was private between her and I. The email was professional and collected not a rant.The information the Captain gave to me was no different that the information the FRG gave to me, he just came across nicer. So what was the point.
I need a vacation. I feel like I have handled this deployment very well. I don't think I come across as a crazy, overreacting lady! Posting this was better than emailing the FRG with some rant that they will just forward to command. Although by now I am sure they have been able to access this blog anyways.
Thank you everyone for all of your continued support of Chris and our family during this deployment! We love you all!
I read somewhere that the FRG encourages Facebook as a means of communication, but to just keep in mind that it was not a secure portal. So, unless he or anyone else over there was sharing strategic information, it shouldn't matter what they put. I mean, last I checked, anyone who is a US citizen was free to complain about their job & their bosses. So, why would it be any different for the military? It's an employer, so shouldnt they be able to? I just think the whole situation. I bet if the media had caught wind of the situation, they wouldnt be too thrilled...
