Hi again all,

Well, my command knows whats going on, all of it. They have been surprisingly understanding overall, but at the same time I am getting some conflicting messages from different people. My career as a Sensor Operator is over. I was only 70 hours short of having 3000 hours of combat flying time... Would have been a big mile stone, but I am off the flying schedule for good now.

So, I've been putting together my medical records, making sure to take care of as many appointments as I can, and trying to finish up my degree, I'll be done in March, I have the original chapter 30 GI-Bill, and tuition assistance as long as I'm on active duty.

Some of the commanders are talking about retraining me, while others are kind of hinting at this being the end. So, I'm just putting everything I can together to give me as many opportunities as possible, no mater what the outcome. Luckily I have a side business that I can build if I need to, and even more important a wife and family that love me.

My wife is trying to set up our family based on the idea that come the end of October we will no longer be in the military (that's her idea, not mine)... She's making sure our finances are in order, and the girls have all of their medical stuff up to date...

We'll see, right now its day by day. I'm not sure what tomorrow might look like... I just hope its better than today...
