You're all fired up and ticked off and you know you're right.... so you send an email off to let your feelings be known. Right after you hit send you immediately regret it and wish you could undo it. Now there may be a way for you to undo it. Google has released an undo send choice to help you out.http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/07/25/how-to-unsend-email/

Angry texting and angry driving is a bad habit to have.

CW4 (Join to see) - Autocorrect is my reason for needing a quick recall of a text, 99% of the time!

Auto correct seems to cause more harm than good and they called them "smart phones".

Oh boy, have I? Yes I've have, but to my defense I was still very young and I didn't think things through before I reacted. I was a brand new WO1 and I got into back and forth email message with the Battalion S-3 Major about some training that needed to get done in the motor pool. Instead of going to see him and truly getting a honest feel for his position, I kind of step out of bounds with my email. I was borderline disrespectful although that wasn't my intent. My Battalion XO knew what I was trying to accomplish, but he let me learn my lesson and get hammered by the S-3 when I went to go see him. I've never blasted off another email while angry ever again and to this day, the now the LTC(P) S-3 and I remain friends. When sending an email, ensure that you read over it and that its short as possible and to the point. Never send an email when you are upset about the current situation or about the person you are sending it to. Make sure the right attendees are on the email. Overall in my opinion, if it's important, go see the person or at least call them.
