Back to Active Duty

So, once again my man is overcome with a longing to rejoin the ranks of active duty. He realizes, however, that if he reenlisted, that he would inevitably be sent somewhere else. He has been suffering through the transition to civilian life, and every time the military sends him some place for duty, he comes back with this look of longing in his eyes. The only thing that has been standing between him and active duty is me.

He realized that if he went back to active duty then he would be breaking my heart. So, he found an alternative, taking 1 year active duty orders. He will remain in the reserves, just helping out the active duty unit. I am happy because he won't be deploying, and he will still be stationed at his current base. He is happy, because he will be full time military again.

This still leaves me wondering if we will be able to spend Thanksgiving together like we planed, or if he will be working. On the other hand, he will have a good paying job that he can be proud of himself for again. With the way that his schedule will be, if I am working on the days he has off, then he is thinking of getting a part time job. I keep reminding him how good that extra money would look on my left hand. Now that he knows what I want, I guess that I will stop bugging him.

Anyways, my work has me really busy right now, so I am sorry that it has been so long between posts, but I think that it may get worse. I will try to keep up if I can.
