Were my actions justified?

I got sent home from work today......

So, I'm at my unit today. I went in about 30 minutes early because I went to the Officer Barber Shop to get a quick cut and boot shine. No big deal. The inmate who usually cuts my hair was off today, so I had to begrudginly let a different inmate cut my hair. As a result, it took more time to cut my hair the way I like it, thus, causing me to be about, and no more than, 5 minutes late for Turn-Out. (Turn-out is when we, the officers and supervisors, meet for about 30 minutes before actual shift start to be briefed about unit happenings, have classes, and updates.)

I'm never late for work. I'm very, very good about being on-time and not tardy. I figured it wouldnt be the end of the world, seeing as how I have a good record, if I was a few minutes tardy. My dick of a sergeant, on the other hand, thought otherwise. He had the balls to "make an example of me" by calling me out in front of the entire room of officers, my friends and co-workers, by saying crap like "You know what time you're supposed to be here, Oliver! What's wrong with you? You got lead feet?" and other nonsense. I told my sergeant, very calmly and casually, to stop embarrassing me and leave me be. He resopnded by saying, "You need to get your shit in gear and stop being late for your damn job!"

That's when I told the sergeant to go f*ck his mother.

Hence, I'm at home on KMC ranting about this incident to you fine people.

I don't expect to get a disciplinary case, seeing as how he swore at me in front of a room full of people. He was wrong and he pushed my buttons for no damn reason. If he wanted to make an example of my actions, he could have done it in a much more professional, not to mention courteous, manner. I admit, however, I was wrong for what I said, but every man has his limit, you know?

I'm gonna go call Pizza Hut and order dinner. drool

Man, you're such a badass....... I'd never f*ck with you.... 😕

And this is why the US army sucks... It sends it's men home instead of teaching them how not to shoot their allies... hmm

I'm no bad ass. Believe me.

Well he is at fault for singling you out in that way so I don't see that you did anything wrong. Yeah, the "f*ck your mother" comment was a bit uncalled for, but a supervisor/ranking officer shouldn't have singled you out.

The weird thing is, this particular sergeant is usually an okay guy. He must have been in a shitty mood.

Wait wait wait. Work?

Dude, I respect your authority. I do stories on those guys sometimes and you gotta have some serious patience and balls to do that kinda work. I imagine the benefits are really good too.

The benefits are great, especially since I have to take care of my woman and daughter.

The only downside is the inherent danger that goes with guarding convicted felons. 2 weeks ago, we had an officer on my unti get stabbed in the face 3 times with an ink pen. He's okay, but he's gonna have to have surgery for cosmetic repair. The worst I've ever been injured in I got tackled and beaten by an inmate because I confiscated his Bugler tobacco, which is a contraband item. He blackened both my eyes and split my lip open. I put my thumbs in his eye sockets until helet go of me, then I maced him and thats when 11 other officers came to my rescue.

What about Old Ol Olstein?

I don't blame you for doing what you did. If a guy pulled me up infront of everyone like that just for being a few minutes late, I would have said something back to him too. 😆 Fu*k your mother, man that's funny.

Dude, I used to smoke Buglers, damn smokes and their addictiveness! 😠 Still, I would never attack someone for taking them away from me, then again I'm not an inmate. 😮
