No promotion

DJ / 8 Years Ago

The Air Force saw fit to not promote me to Senior Master Sergeant this year (not a huge surprise, honestly - it is a hard rank to make). Thus, we get to stay at Langley Air Force Base for a while longer. The Air Force will not move us again unless I end up getting promoted next year or the year after. The decision now is whether to retire or not, but as long as Kelley is happy enough at her job here, I'll stay in.

There are still challenges, to be sure, but we'll face them and overcome them one at a time. I plan on starting my Master's Degree in November. That will be a big change and a big challenge. I want to be ready for what comes after the military, no matter when that happens to be.

    Things never go the way you think
    It is hard to believe that the last time I posted, nearly 16 months ago, life was so vastly different. We had just moved to Peoria... and now we've been gone from Peoria for 9 months! Just 40 days after I was let go by Liberty Mutual, Kelley was let go by Caterpillar. That led to some dark months
    Read the rest...
