Getting out of the Navy

So, after a week's vacation, Jack walked into work to find separation orders on his desk. We knew we were getting out but were told (over and over again after checking and double checking) that our time to separate from the Navy was going to be January 2011. I guess the left hand hasn't talked to the right hand and it is was all a communication error. We are triple checking now to make sure this is accurate, but for now, we are on our own the first of the year.

The funny thing is that Jack got the paper, called Buppers to get the scoop, left a message and then hung up the phone, only to have it ring immediately. He's been applying for jobs in anticipation for this and it was a guy from General Dynamics who was VERY enthusiastic about his resume. This job would be perfect for Jack because it would be in DC working for the Navy staff determining training requirements for operational squadrons, so he'll still be involved with the Navy and still be involved with the aviation aspect, just not in the military. We might do the reserves though.

He doesn't have the job yet, but it seems promising. Even if we don't get it, it was just the perfect timing for the guy to call. It gave us hope that we might not be jobless in January.

Pray for our little family in a time of the unknown.
