Ryan has applied to apply to about 8 jobs. So far one job (Physical Medicine) is full. Health Management is available. Contracting Specialist is only open overseas right now. We have not heard from three Intelligence jobs or Flight Engineer.
Another opportunity came up for Recruiting Duty. It has some great pros and cons. One is there is extra duty pay of $450 a month. This is eerie because I will not be babysitting this year and I made...dum dum dum....$450 a month. We can also pick where he wants to be, he can't be deployed for the length of the tour (4 years). The downside is you have to meet quotas and work strange hours and weekends. Ryan is leaning toward this right now, but not sure yet.
In the meantime, he has 2 CLEP tests to take and he will have his CCAF (community college of the air force) degree. He can transfer that to any college and be done with everything you would do in the first 2 years of college, so he could start the specialized courses. So he's going to start taking 2 classes a semester again too.
He does not know what he wants a degree in yet because he doesn't know what he wants to do when he 'grows up'. He will be 31 when he gets out, which is not OLD, but a lot of fire departments don't hire after 30 :( He took a career test online the other day and it said his top areas are security/protection, health, or construction. So we shall see!
If you can pray for us...we are just hoping that God will lead us in the right direction for our family. It's really a stressful time for me because I am the type of person who needs to know what is going on, when things need to happen, etc. This all has to be decided by Sept 30th and the recruiter application is due by the 1st so I guess I will know more soon!

Thanks for the insight of a teachers view point. I can understand somethings but isn't it the parents responsibility to get all the school supplies for their kids? The stores make the supplies cheap enough that if money is tight. But thanks!
I know it will work out. Getting to choose where you want to live is very good as well as not being deployed if he goes the recruitment route. You know we always think about you guys and hope for the best!
