    Sorry bout that, there is so much more about the situation that I didn’t post, but it was already getting kind of long-winded, so I tried to reduce it as much as possible, but I guess I left too much context out ><

      I’m sure if you’ve been in the military it made perfect sense.

      At the end of the day, that awful person who just has it out for you is a literal nightmare and I’m sorry you had to deal with it. From my own experiences, I understand how frustrating and even traumatic that can be.

        Yeah, the guy was a piece of shit. The first time he started being a piece of shit to me I was walking past him and he started throwing insults about my girlfriend that he had never met, saying I’m pathetic because I “have to date a retarded girl” (which she wasn’t, she was mildly autistic, diagnosed aspergers. Like completely 100% functional, but with some social anxiety around people she didn’t know, but even if she was, his comments would still be fucking bullshit). Out of fucking nowhere, right in front of my team leader too, and at the time they were both E5’s. My team leader pulled him aside and told him if he ever heard him saying that uncalled for shit again, he would kick the shit out of the other guy. He left me alone after that until he was promoted to SSG and transferred to a different section which resulted in him being outside my chain of command but still having to interact with me on a semi-regular basis, and every single time he was just a dick of colossal proportion. To this day, no one I know that also worked with him had any clue why he suddenly cranked the “Be a dick to this 1 E4” dial to 11. He didn’t do it to anyone else in the company as far as anyone was aware and the people who were in his platoon that I was friends with had no clue why he was being such a dick to me. He wouldn’t answer them when they asked what his problem with me was either.
