Sorry,
I have lived in the same house I bought in 1981, I have been furloughed, regional bases closed, companies go into BK, gone to trade school, had no medical and dental insurance, and paid cash for both Doctors. I did whatever it took to "Keep on Truckin" I have also commuted coast to coast, been forced to stay in base because there was no time to commute home, so whats your point? Life is hard, and if you are gonna be dumb you better be strong. The airline business is mercurial in the best of years, my point is its a tough industry and it chews people up like nothing else, military included.
