BadIntention

The Master's Intent 

Slightly modified version of The Commander's Intent. This means that when a subordinate must make an immediate decision, he or she is prepared to make the decision that best supports his or her master's desired end state.

That's it really. It's really that simple.

Someone please come talk nerdy to me.

A lot of my views on dominance and submission come from my upbringing and time in the military. Yes, I know quite different than kinky fun or fetish submission but because of that there are some lifestyle things that consistently rub me the wrong way or bug me. Since we're all friends here I'm sure you all will not mind if I vent. 

1. Doms that can't, don't or won't get along with other Doms simply because they are Doms. This to me is the most ridiculous things among my gripes. I'm pretty sure that's prejudice as in prejudging. How about we are all people first before any of our sexual or kinky preferences. What are they really afraid of? In the service not only are those in authority expected to get along and play well together they are to set an example to their subordinates as well as their peers. Anything less is considered conduct unbecoming and a discredit to one's self, one's unit, one's corps, etc. Being with one's rank peer group is highly encouraged, separate clubs, mess halls etc. Why anything less could even be construed as fraternization. Can't we all just get along? 

2. The term "switch". Maybe I have a limited or misunderstanding of the term or maybe I have my own bias stemming from my own interpretation of the various definitions because people aren't binary switches. At all times as a non commissioned officer, and even before, I'm in authority and under authority. I'm never switching between the two. I'm always both 100% of the time 24/7/365. If there are two privates or two sergaents or two captains in a room only one of them is in charge. I don't have to enter any special sub space to submit to lawful orders from those above me and I don't have to work myself up into any kind of frenzy to exercise the authority granted by my rank and time and service. It's like breathing in is to breathing out. 

3. The "just because I'm a sub doesn't mean I'm your sub line". I guess that even having to be said ad nauseum is probably many of the Dom's faults but it annoys the military man in me. In the service it doesn't matter if you're in my unit, chain of command or not. Heck you could even be in another branch of the service. Heck you could even be in another branch of another countries' service on my base for all I care and I'd still expect a salute and a by your leave Sir when passing me on the left, abreast and in step so forth and so on. Maybe I just want too much from the civilian world but where is the decorum?!?

4. Doms that have never been subs or under anyone else's authority. I guess this also bothers me because of my upbringing but particularly having been in the military. Everyone starts at the bottom. I don't care if you a seargant major or a 4 star general everyone starts at the bottom. The next statement is not always true because there are always exceptions to every rule but good privates make for good corporals which makes for good sergeants etc etc. Good lieutenants make fore good captains which make for good majors which makes for good colonels which makes for good generals. Shitbag privates generally make shitbag corporals and shitbag sergeants, if they ever even get that far. You get my point. There is a reason enlisted men and women train officers. There is a reason those same enlisted men and women salute the officers when they are done. I think more Doms would be a lot better to their subs and their subs a lot better off if their Doms had gone through the ranks so to speak. 

5. This is sort of related to the previous one. A staff non commissioned or commissioned officers as well as commissioned officers job in life consist of only two things. 1. Mission accomplishment and 2. Troop welfare. That's it. That's their life and only reason for existence. When we ate in the field the officers served the enlisted. The lowest rank not only ate first they got seconds before any officer sat down for a single bite. That's really my view of how D/s relationships should work. I hear some horror stories some subs tells about Doms that did them wrong and I'm seriously like wtf. A Dom that isn't taking care of their sub is just beyond me. I don't get it and I don't understand either one of them. If I wanted my troops to run 3 miles I'd better be able to go 5 with them. If I was going to inspect their uniform for shine and polish my own had better be immaculate and done by my own hand. If I called muster for 05:00 I'd better be there myself at 04:45 be the first and last foot on the deck. Subs that want a better Dom expect a little living and leading by example. Doms you want a better sub look in the mirror.

6. Something else I thought of that bugs me. The don't call me ma'am or sir or expect me to call you ma'am or sir you have to earn it or you don't know me. This stems directly from the military man in me. All officers are Ma'am or Sir period. You don't have to get to know them first, they've already earn it. It's a title akin to Doctor. The work has already been done. Guess what civilians that wait on me from the local dinner, to the dry cleaner, to getting my car fixed refer to me as? Sir, unless I tell them to use my name. So someone who is in the "lifestyle" and says they can't...

7. Women who say they'll never submit to a man (daddy or abuse issues maybe?) and men who say they'll never submit to a woman (mommy issues?). I've never cared if an officer was a woman or a man. I care about their rank and their competency. Even if you didn't respect the person you note the rank and the uniform.

Ok, I'm not really done but at least I feel better now. Thanks for listening.
