Well, I have an ACAP appointment for Monday and I can see what the job market is like on the outside. I also found out a get over $30,000 separation pay to tide me over till I find a job. I dunno… I know I may be acting rash but the idea of never wearing a kevlar again is starting to get really appealing. Thank you for all your support. I am sure I will need it in the coming months.
Hang in there Ski. Explore all your options, Take time to think it over. Then make your decision. I am sure you will do well in whatever you decide to do. Being a single mom myself, I know how hard it is, and not having any family support makes it even harder. Hugs!
So sorry Ski 🙁 Have you talked to Justin? He may actually have something to say that will really help you decide what you guys want to do. Def find out what jobs you can line up before you get out. Aren’t you close to your 20 years? (Does the army do things differently from the AF?)
Bottom line: if you aren’t happy it probably isn’t worth it.
Sending *hugs* & *chocolate**sends mental chocolate and hugs* I’m sorry things are so tough right now, ski. Definitely Justin needs to come first and it is great that you are so conscious of his needs. But I know if you are happy he will be too. So I would factor that into the decision as well – what is best for YOU and what would make YOU happier? Good luck!
I don’t have any addvice. I’m no mother. But, family comes first. If your job (career) comes before the family then do go for something else. Good luck whichever way you end up going. I’m sure you’ll be successfull in whatever you set your mind to. Sending hugs and chocolates. (That word just never looks right to me and my tired mind. LOL)
sorry that all kind of sucks….I couldn’t give my opinion….it’s been off lately
I hope it all works out….
Both Starbreeze and Wolflodge gave the exact same advice I would have.
I’m sorry your having a hard time right now.
Goodness, I’m sorry to hear you are having a bad time right now. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
Hey-Take a deep breath. Chin up! Don’t let them (the army) make up your mind for you! I got out of the AF because I couldn’t cross-train, almost went Guard, then went AF civilian instead.
You’re smart and have a great sense of humor, and you need both right now. Keep doing the research and see what all your options are–you might find something you weren’t expecting.
The hard part is, of course, making that final decision that’s best for you and your son. Just make sure it is YOUR decision.
You’re strong and you will get through this! And, you have untold numbers of windstone fanatics to use as sounding boards…
Thanks for your years of service to your country!
Blessings, hugs, and prayers for you both!I’m so sorry about what you’re going through ski. I do feel, like many others have said before me, that family does come first. My dayjob is teaching creative writing to inner city kids, for a non-profit, and everyday I see how parental support at home plays a HUGE part in their child’s education and character development. Explore your options, before deciding anything. Make informed decisions. Good luck…I wish you all the best!
*Takes chocolate and hugs* Thanks guys. Well, I no longer feel like the sky is falling. Maybe its cuz I got a pass, but I was sitting on my couch and felt like I could get through this. I still dont know what my other options are in D company and the bad review is still a factor, but I am thinking I can survive… even with a bad review… maybe even get promoted eventually. Even so.. the further you get up in rank, the more hours you tend to spend at work anyway. I have not made a descision, and getting out is scary, but I dont want to do something just because I am freaking out about Paul leaving. Maybe because he is getting such a big change, I want one too? I dunno…
