Today, I worked 4 hours for a huge mail call to get all the troops their Christmas mail. And just like every other mail call I did not receive one package or letter. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I noticed that even though I got all my Christmas shopping done a month earlier than usual, I forgot to put anything in the mail. FML
Today, I returned from wading in a foot of snow to go to a hearing and back, and opened my emails. My boss had sent me an email on Friday at 4:30 telling me I didn't have to go in. On Friday, there was the company Christmas party. He was there. So was I. He told me nothing. Nor did he call me. FML
Today, I used my Christmas holiday time to open up a load of old letters. There were a lot of bills, of course, but there was also a note telling me that I'm due for a tax inspection. Merry F*ing Christmas! FML
Today, I found the Christmas 'newsletter' my mom sends out every year to our extended family and friends that details our activities and achievements of the past year. I wasn't mentioned once. FML
Today, I decided I was going to do something nice for my parents for Christmas. So, I cleaned the entire house top to bottom, baked cookies, and made them both Christmas cards. What did I get in return? They asked me to wrap my four year old sister's presents, and let me know I got nothing. FML
Today, the management office of my apartment building announced it will be keeping packages in the office until you can pick them up. They also posted new hours. There will be someone in the office once a week, for two hours only. I work those two hours, every single week. No more mail for me. FML
Today, my Christmas tree was finally shipped. FML
Today, I work at a debt collections center and I had to call my own father. Merry Christmas. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents for various people; 17 to be exact. It wasn't until I placed the last present on top of the stack that I realized I didn't put gift tags on any of them. FML
Today, my manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sorry to hear that man. Although it isn't much of a compensation, at least you're doing your country proud, even at one of the worse times of the year to be risking your ass.

I'm so sorry to hear this hun. Shit like this makes me SO ANGRY!! If my husband and I had information for you we'd love to send you care packages, goodies, letters and such throughout your entire deployment. Unfortunately, without posting information on this site for all the universe to see, I don't know how else to get your information :(. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR from our family to you!! P.s. to people asking for his information on here, he can't post it like that. Not being rude, just pointing out.

Awwwww, that's heart broken. I have family that are serving and I know they would be heartbroken if we didn't send them something. I feel for you. But thank you for doing our Country a favor though.

I know how you feel. I served, too, with nothing from my friends from home. I will gladly be your new friend who can count on to write to. [email protected]. Let's chat. By the way, My name is Misty Jackson. Served the Marine Corps proudly. I was the girl who would gather up the marines that had no place to go then bombard my house with new friends and good food!
