My question (turned into several questions, sorry.) is, would this possibly be a redundancy built in to simulate a chain of command?
Would that be total ridiculous?
Or is it just what it appears to be, a position created to justify some pencil pushers continued employment?
I'm honestly not sure. She was helpful to me when I was in the initial stages of transition from active duty to civilian life.
As I understand it, it's a private organization. The organization in itself is wonderful and I'm grateful to the project. They sponser many events for wounded vets and their mission is honorable.
I just happened to find an area of weakness but I don't think it's inductive to the overall mission. It's by no means a requirement, more a benefit.
Again, I don't think this instance is a reflection of the project. Just my own personal issue with a particular person that happens to work there.
She may not be sensitive to my particular needs but may be incredibly helpful to others.
Also, I realize in retrospect I may misunderstand her capabilities or have been asking for help that was not within her reach. Her desire may have been to be helpfu but it appeared insensitive to me. But this speaks more to how badly I am doing.
She has spoke to me about her own personal struggles in her life in the attempt to connect on a personal level. Unfortunately, I took it as she was telling me how she overcame those challanges as a comparison.
That's my issue to address. I instinctively feel judged, and all that goes back to childhood and feeling like a military failure.
