Promotion will equal a year in the desert somewhere I'm almost positive, then choice of assignments afterwards. Getting out means I'll take a job as a gov't contractor doing basically the same thing I'm doing now but without the trips to the desert. I'll find out at 3pm today.

Gl dude, hope you get what you're looking for.

best of luck, bud. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

here's a pic from Brandon...
needless to say, I was pretty damn trashed at this point.
since it was more or less just a gig for my bud's b-day, we didn't take it too seriously...

Well, if you've been in long enough to get retirement $$, I hope you get out. Then you can still do something you know (and like?), but without the trips to war zones. [img]eek.gif[/img]

In either event, hope you're happy with the way it turns out. Sounds like you have a good attitude about it either way. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Man... I think my wife and I are going through a second "college dayz" era... we've been going out alot.

Friday wasn't too bad... dinner, a few drinks, some karaoke... home by 1:30- 2:00....

... but Saturday... oh boy.

From the multiple locations, multiple live bands, dancing, beverages, you know you were having a pretty good time when you're just getting "to bed" at 4:45 am on sunday morning. [img]wink.gif[/img]

If I get the promotion I'm guaranteed to 20 years and the retirement though. That's pretty much the best thing about getting promoted though.

Guess I'll find out in 2 1/2 hours, lol.
