Jaye's Musings

There's been a small change in our move. Instead of having to rush to leave by early July, we're not leaving until late August (which is when we *should* be leaving). This is good, because July was stressing me out. Plus, I get to have an extra trip back to England, and *hopefully* a quick trip down to Rome.

Hubby called me at work yesterday (he's currently away for a couple of weeks) and he found out that he made Chief (E-9...highest enlisted rank). So when we leave Germany next August, we'll be moving onto another base for 3 years instead of retiring.

Kind of a double edged sword...we've both had enough of the Air Force and the way things are going generally that retiring would be nice. Get away from the military and try something else, although also a little daunting. But the only reason he decided to try for Chief was for the retirement money it will give him, nearly double of what he would make now. And that money, yeah, very good.

Now to keep my fingers crossed we get an assignment to England...or somewhere *very* nice in the States.
