I have a LOT of questions. The hubby is about two months away from having to make a decision of whether or not to stay in the Corps. He's really up in the air and leaning toward staying in... but as far as options go, if something got thrown in his face for massive amounts of money and the prospect of not deploying again, I think he may take it.
This got me thinking about a lot of things... and I was searching and ended up with post after post of "I got back in!" or stuff related to that, not really what I wanted.
1. How does the whole get out for education thing work? I was told that you can terminate early so that you can begin a new semester of college.... Please elaborate or link me to a post! --also, how does terminal leave go into play with that?
2. applying for jobs with your EAS quickly approaching.... How does that work too? I noticed in some job announcements that you have to either a. be on terminal leave to apply, or b. be employable within 90 days of hire. --does this mean that you can't base your decision to get out on a job that is offered to you?
3. Does anyone know where DECENT housing is around the Ft. Meade area? It looks like we may get moved there.. possibly, if he DOES re-enlist and I've been looking and most looks like crap--or is WAY above BAH rates. We will not live on base b/c I refuse to get rid of our dogs (german shepherd and german shepherd/pitt mix) AND our cats (2).
Any GOOD and PRODUCTIVE answers would greatly be appreciated.
