I Was Kicked Out of the Army Because I Didnt Even Send in a Resume

I Was Kicked Out of the Army Because I Didn't Even Send in a ResumeI hope that when you read this article you will please find my resume attached. I wanted to share a few stories about people who have been kicked out of the army for not sending in a resume and some advice on what to do next when you receive this notification. Please read on and find out what I did that worked for me.My husband was one of our friends who was kicked out of the army because he didn't even bother to send in a resume. The reason why he didn't send one was that he knew that he would be fine in the civilian world, and the reason why he decided to join the army was because he wanted to go on a tour of duty in the Middle East. He wasn't sure about going with the first group he joined, so he just went with another group later on in the process. I knew that I had to do something so I called up my recruiter to see if I could have him removed from the military.Okay, so I am just going to straighten out the situat ion so you can understand how I was trying to get him removed. Basically, he was being kicked out for not following the 'do as I say, not as I do' policy. The reason why this is important to follow is because you don't want to offend someone in the military. If you do, then you are done. If you don't agree with them and decide to do something that will upset them, then you don't have a job.What was really a big deal for him was that he had been in the army a little too long, and he used certain words in his cover letter and an interview that upset his superiors. The person at the bottom of his resume said something to the effect of 'I guess you can leave now. 'I told her 'who said that?' She said it was her superior, and she was quite upset.Okay, so the first thing that I did was to explain to her that I was sorry, but I was told by my superiors that they were not going to remove me from the service. So the next thing that I did was to write a letter to my superior explaining what h appened. After she saw that letter, she realized that it wasn't that big of a deal and that I really had nothing to worry about.So my first advice for you is to show a little more class and not to show any disrespect or that you are in the military just to get a different story to tell the superior. There is nothing wrong with that, but your superiors are going to take away your ability to work in the civilian world when they get the impression that you have been disrespectful in the past.The second advice for you is to show your superiors that you care about them by writing a good cover letter that makes them see that you care about them and your career, but also just tell them what you did on your tour of duty in the Middle East. Tell them why you left and how much time you had left. Just say thank you and let them know that you are sorry that you were sent home. If you did something that could make them uncomfortable, then tell them.Finally, if you are kicked out of the military for not telling your superiors that you sent in a resume, then take the time to write one that is totally different and show your superiors that you are willing to do whatever it takes to come back and prove yourself. In the military, you will be required to do several tours of duty. If you have been disloyal to your superiors, then you will be required to go back and finish your tour of duty.
