-Get as many types as you can, get into safety or instructing
-Payoff your house
-Live below your means
-Get your wife out in the work force in a "real job" that has/does have earning potential
- Stay in the guard/res till retirement, just suck it up. (Pension and Health coverage)
- Buy Loss of License Insurance
- Develop a second skill set
-If your married don't f*ck the FA, they will want more then a F&ck buddy eventually and then your in trouble. It will always come home one way or another.
These are the ONLY things you can control
You're one of those "planning" types, i guess?
Funny about the f.a. though. Yeah, the road wife will eventually wanna have that "road" tag removed from the title.
On the other hand, if you're the type to "get your wife out into the workforce", you probably won't be married for long anyhow(i.e. she's not an object).
A wise man once told me: don't take life TOO seriously because no one gets out of this place alive!
P.s. it's still a kick arse place to work.
