Tbone pretty much shacked this one. I was in the same boat with about 75 days left before I got out. I did this hoping I'd have a training date lined up and could double dip. When hiring froze up, I chose to take two weeks off, then work for two months and sell back the remaining 60. The $10K I got was a nice chunk to pad the checking account until I started my contractor job a month after I got out. I drilled the month after I got out and my net gain was 50 hours of flight time, 9K in the savings account and no deployments ever again!
