Good info Elvis. Thanks.

I have been preparing for this for a while. Paying off as many bills as I can and throwing cash in the savings. I fortunately have a a spouse that can make almost twice as much as I do right now on active duty in her profession, but unfortunately is unemployed right now because we happen to be stationed in an area that doesn't have many job opportunities for her (which is something we'll probably deal with for the next 8 years if I don't seperate). This is leading factor in my decision to seperate from AD to the ANG. We are trying to go to a specific unit in an area with a few options for her. I don't think we'll have much of a problem with me making less than I do now.
