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

Default 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?????

D@mn, I need one more year AD without a contract....but, no 5 yr contract, no bonus...

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...

-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.
