Air Force

After months of trying to get out of the military early and being denied, we've now signed up to extend for another 10 months. But it's actually a good thing! :)
J's shop is closing down and they are curtailing everyone's assignment. Since our DEROS/DOS (Date of Estimated Return from Overseas/Date Of Separation) were both supposed to be this coming January, they couldn't send us to another base unless we extended. The good news is, since we've been overseas for almost 3 years, our next assignment is guaranteed to be in the CONUS!! We've prayed about it and decided that this is a really good opportunity. This way, when the time comes for his separation, we will already be stateside and have *so* many less headaches to deal with in terms of transitioning to civilian life. I haven't started the official countdown yet, as we don't know the exact date we will be out of here, but we do know it will be in November! Whoo-Hoo!! :) They should cut orders sometime the second half of this month, then we'll know where we're going and when we're going there. We'll only be there for a year, our new DOS is 29 Nov 2006.

More updates to come as we learn more ourselves...

BTW--Z&M-we're *so* sorry about the tickets...tell us how we can make it up to you and we'll try!!!
