Fighting for my job


Today I went to a meeting with my boss. This was a quarterly meeting with all of the services. The
Senior Nigh
briefer had a series of slides telling the problems and possible remedies. There were 10 problems and number 3 was the fact that the National Guard was allowing me to leave. He briefed that they didn't know what the solution would be if I was not there next year. My boss asked why that was on the briefing slide. The briefer said that I was an integral part of the California program and they didn't know how they would be able to function without me.
Last game in high school
I realized she didn't realize what I did in my job and that was part of the problem with why I was being let go. I spent and hour after the meeting explaining what happened in the meeting and why I was an integral part of the military recruiting in Northern California. If I want her to go to her boss to fight for MY job she needs to know more about what I do and the impact on the whole state if I am not retained. I am only one of a team of three so we need to go to the state as a team and let them know what we all do. I send my boss a weekly report and a monthly report telling her what I do. The other two don't do a report like I do.
My report for last month shows that in one month I made 54 presentations and talked with over 1000 students. For the school year I have made over 350 presentations and talked to over 9500 students. I have also been directly responsible for over 20 people that went into the service. I will write up briefing paper so she can bring the subject up to her boss with ammunition. I told her to call the top 5 recruiters in California and ask them how I, and the team I work with, help them do their job.
 I am still looking for a job, but I wouldn't mind keeping my job. I need people to see how important my job is and the things that wouldn't get done if I wasn't able to do it. I will work hard doing both in the next 76 days.
