due for a nasty wigging form my C.O.
debido a una llamada de atención/ reto de parte de mi C.O.


Explanation:
tuvo que regresar porque su C.O. lo "levantó en peso", diríamos coloquialmente acá en Buenos Aires...una llamada de atención es un poco más suave que un reto... y hasta podría ser una reprimenda... que incluiría algún tipo de castigo. Suerte!!!
