On 3 Feb 11 at approx 0445 hrs I went into the PMO for shift work in the wrong state of being. I thought I was fine to work when in actuality I it had to take another soldier to point it out for me that I wasnt. I made a bad decision which could have been avoided if I had not been drinking the night prior. I could have even slowed down early and still been fine. I reacted selfishly not thinking of what repercussions this deed could have on my family my career or my battle buddies to include my team leader , squad leader , platoon sergeant , and my platoon leader. Soldiers have to rely on each other like family members, by me drink too much the night before shift others could not rely on me if the need sound judgment.
The soldiers creed is something every soldier should live by. I am an American soldier I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I let my team down that day. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values. I was not serving the people of the United States the way I should have instead I was thinking by about myself. I will always place the mission first. I didnt place my mission first and that was to conduct law enforcement duties for Weisbaden . I will never accept defeat. I accepted defeat when I reported to work in the state of mind I was in. I will never quit. The only thing I did not quit was drinking when I was supposed to. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I left my comrades out to dry when they had to take me off the road that should of never happened reason being we should be a family and should be able to back each other where ever when ever. I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. If I was all of these things listed above this situation should have never arose. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
