6 more months to happiness

[Munkin]

Be careful as the grass isn't always greenier on the other side?

I switched from active duty to the National Guard back in 2003. I was TDY soo much my last couple of years I drove past my own house on two different occasions! With my assignment being up I scored a nice Germany assignment thinking great? Well my unit had me involuntary extended 3 years which killed Germany and then my branch manager said afterwards I was going to Korea. To top it all off the 1SG said I "had" to re-enlist to meet the extention. The man was such a POS I told him where he could go!

Now if I do not like my job or boss I roll out! You want me to work a 12 hour weekend shift? Sure, that will be time and a 1/2 pay plus weekend differential pay. My first job as a civilian had me working crazy hours for six months. I did not complain at all because I used all the extra money to buy a BMW.

Now the bad? Contracts end and you can be layed off at anytime? Job security and free health coverage is the tradeoff for becoming a civilian.
