Moving On Up
I had a buddy in the military that was a trust fund baby. He literally only served as a bullet point on his resume as he wanted to go the political route. Which is fine, I served for a bullet point but just the amount of care he put into his work ethic was abysmal.
He paid dudes like $1k to take his duty. Multiple times. He had a brand new Mercedes or BMW or whatever nice European car every few months. I remember he ran out of gas on base and just left his car. Went to the car rental place, rented a car, then drove off base to buy a new one.
Everyone on our team hated him. So much so that my team leader stuck him in a cave in the middle of Afghanistan when we deployed just so he didn’t make a fool of himself or get anyone killed.
Last I knew he was working at the Pentagon. When I went there for work, I saw him and he looked like he was just a secretary or something but tried to make it seem like he was a bigger deal than he was. Literally had people calling him “hey guy” because no one cared to learn his name.
But everything is for resume bullets. He doesn’t care about money. He cares about power. He’s a narcissist whom I imagine will be a very successful politician soon because politicians all have the same exact personality as him. Story Credit : Reddit / [deleted]
