appreciate the advice. I will let you know how it is.

Yeah dude, 3rd deployment in my 5 years (April makes it 5 years Ive been in).

I will get out when I get back from Iraq this time, then Im done. Did my enlinstment so I kinda feel like I did my part.

My older brother actually has that same case. It works well for him, and he's happy with it, so no negative comments on your purchase here. ;)

I'm just curious if and when they offer pensions on the US side. My friend seems to be going places in the military, has 8 more years until he gets a full pension, but has a civilian position knocking on his door... which would probably pay him more now but not as well down the road.
He's not sure what to do. Moving the family around isn't exactly fun for him either.

20 years and a day and you get to retire.............;) Earlier if you get a medical retirement, but you really don't want one of those as you are normally missing body parts, can't see, hear, walk or something of that nature.................

A fellow civilian working on Base crushed his pinky finger while trying to lift a trailer onto a hitch. (Trailer rolled forward, pinning his hand against the bumper.) Anyways the last joint had to be fused. I was there when they asked how this 'disability' is affecting him. He mumbles out a few things but when he states, "Actually the biggest impact has been on my sex life" ... I almost died laughing.
