Where in Europe are you??? I was at Ramstein in the late 90's, where I got into umpiring.
You are not alone in your thinking. Have you spoken with these 2 clowns and told them of your desire to work and getting you a game or four?
But, as is the way of military life, you have to work your way to the top. Since Ramstein, I have been transferred 2 more times, and each new umpire organization has had me start at the bottom of the cesspool (ie the Minors, 9-10) and had to work my up from there.
I don't say this with any disrespect, but if you are as good as you say, they will notice and you will get your games in the upper levels. It has happened with me in my association in NM where I got as high as Jr/Sr's with Majors District Championship game and at Ramstein doing the Sectional Championship behind the dish. That was the same year Ramstein sent its majors team to Williamspost.
Bottom line, do the crappy games. Go to the meetings (if there any), and apply everything and anything to get them interested in you as an umpire to get you to where you want.
BTW, I leave the intramural softball to the military. They can worry about those babies, not me!!! Hope this helps.
