Got the same problem here. Blame it on the Icelandic volcano.
Same problem for me too. I thought it was a full moon or the servers again.

A med retirement would make you and hubby a lot more mobile. Follow the jobs sort of thing?
true.
I still have a lot of pondering to do on that one.

Good evening Di.
How are you doing tonight?
And the latest version of the GI Bill. That's something I'm going to investigate myself. If Uncle is willing to pay for my MFA, who am I to refuse?
I've eaten quite a bit of Viet Nam era GI Bill but since I finished my MA in '00 I haven't been paying attention. Now that I'm fully retired it must be time to go visit a VA counselor. Never been one to turn down free money . . .
so, how much post 9/11 AD time do you have? It does make a big difference.
Not a second. I was retired in '99. And I'd like to point out that I 'was retired'. I got this letter that essentially said, "Well, Top, it's been fun but the ride is over." After that it gets funny.
I was a staff E-8 who was getting activated four times a year. This made a mess of my classroom so I went looking for a First Sergeant position. I'd never wanted one but I figured that since I only had about nine months left I could manage. I found a unit that was going to be de-activated in September. Since I was due to retire in October that was perfect. We'd close down the joint and the last drill I'd lock the doors, turn off the lights, throw the keys into the room, shut the door and go home. Didn't work out like that.
What happened was that I still was due to retire in October when they moved the deactivation date up to March. Now there's the cute little law floating around that if you have more than 18 years in and the gov. closes your unit they are required to find you a slot within 50 miles or buy you out. The only slot available in my primary or secondary MOS's was 120 miles north so they had to buy me out. FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! It was paid out to me over the next five years. Meanwhile, I got my VA Comp raised to 40% from 10%. With the combination of the VA Comp and the annual check from the golden handshake, I was getting paid more to stay home than I got from drilling. How do things like this get into law?
Hmmm . . . Typical quiet Friday. I think I'll go read. See you tomorrow.

Its crazy, but it happens.
Unfortunately, you probably wont be elligible for the new GI bill. It is based on the length of AD time post 9/11. With pro-rating for less than 3 years.
Happy Saturday, Naked People.
Happy Saturday to you too.
This place has certainly been dead lately.
