Sherpa,
Very, very good points. You're right, I am dreaming about the grass on the other side. Hearing about your experiences does put it in a different perspective. I'm not totally unhappy about where I'm at, but there are a few things (as with any job) are becomming more and more unbearable. For one, my two children live with my ex. Where I'm at now, I see 'em during the summer and XMas, and that's it. My major concern is finding a place to plant my @ss for a while, and getting some more time in with the kids. You know what I'm talking about. Your post does make me think, though. Thanks. Dark |
HofbrauHaus
DG...
Let me see if I get this correct. You are stationed in Germany, working on your mastery of the German language, making I hope regular visits to the local HofBrauHaus, and you want to separate from all of that? What am I missing here?????

The biggest problem is there aren't that many F-15 ANG units around. Additionally, I'm on 'personnel exchange' flying the German Tornado for the next 11 months, so it'll be difficult to market myself to the Guard. D@mn, I need one more year AD without a contract....but, no 5 yr contract, no bonus...:confused: |
DG,
Stay active duty and enjoy your time in the military...I'm at 12 years now and will retire in 8 years. Looking forward to that paycheck twice a month to supplement my 135 freight dog job...:-) The wife is the smart one in the family - she makes the real money , i bring in the chump change - but I've got the better QOL, and job...:D -LA |
Think About Not taking the Bonus and getting an AETC Gig. Home every night. Lots of hours. Only a PCS Commitment. Associated Reverves for Networking.
Downsides: AETC Mentality. |
Vito, I am a ex C-17 guy and now a C-130J guy where were you between 1998 and 2003?
