Wow... I can't even imagine at 18 years old agreeing to do something for 25 years. I think most people here go into the military intending to make it a career but they have the option to change their minds at different points.
What happens if someone decides they do not want to fulfil the 25 year contract?
You can put in a request to get out and it takes 6 months but then you don't get your pension. DH enlisted when he was 17 and can retire in 5 years. Jealous lol not really though because the crap he went through he deserves every day of early retirement.
Yea... My brother still has to actually stay in for 20 years to get his retirement. Which has been his plan all along. He has done really Well in the navy.
I agree with that though, you get to retire do early?!? No fair!! But they really do put up with so much and deserve what they do get.

Hi ladies! DH got to stay hom today so yay! He's busy cleaning the house while I try to get some work done. It's easy updates to a report but getting the data out of Access is taking forever. I'm suppossed to work from home tomorrow morning and I can see what a productive time I'll be having. :/
All the talk of thanksgiving is making me want pie. There may be a silk mousse pie on tonights menu.

Took munchkin the first bowling this AM. He got tired about halfway through... We are now at Burger King. Everybody's turkey sounds better than my Burger, but I am glad to have 1 on 1 time w/DS.

pismoduo LT for being home. No so much for dog pee on the bed. Ick. Sorry.
My cousin has been up from Boston this weekend and I just dropped her off with another friend so they can drive back to the city together. We had so much fun! The weather yesterday was so perfect and the foliage is amazing this weekend. Now I am excited to be lazy all afternoon. I am most definitely getting Chinese food for dinner.
Thanks for all the good lucks. Finished. Missed my goal time by 2 minutes but it felt good. Beautiful day. DD has her first race this afternoon. A one mile run on the streets. Can't wait to see all the little kids running around

I can't run very far at all (about as coordinated as a three-legged elephant with a short leg), so I am much impressed!
Good afternoon all! It's been a lovely fall weekend here. It's been sunny and warm, so much so that we can have the windows open today.
We made breakfast and then ran errands this morning, I've got laundry going now and just finishing vacuuming/dusting/sweeping. H is mowing the lawn and then hopefully we can call this a productive enough Sunday to kick back and watch the Lions. Brats on the grill with pasta salad for dinner.

The wedding was soooo much fun, especially the after party that went until 2:30am. I'm too old for this! Ive been napping most of the day...got up for brunch and a Bloody Mary and then back to the couch. It's a beautiful day here! Heading to a friends for wine and dinner around the firepits...starting tomorrow, it's diet time so I'm going to enjoy the extra night of debauchery even though I could definitely go to bed right now.

I wonder if I can get H to build a fire. Sitting by the fire sounds so fun. Maybe I'll just go do it myself
We have a gas fireplace. Pretty, but too expensive to use. Can't afford to burn money...
We have a gas fireplace as well. I've used it more times than necessary already this year. It's so warm and inviting though. And we prepaid for propane this year so I feel slightly better about it?
