free in 11 days
 

in 11 days I will be a out of the army. served 8 years, most of my service overseas, and now I am free to go in 11 days,
my unit getting ready for the long desert tour again, and I will excluded.
wonder if I will miss being a soldier? I hope not but its a good feeling that I am getting out
right now I've been on terminal leave for 50 days so I already started my new job, still working for the military but with a beard, and in regular clothes. and I work by the hour now. ;D

Re: free in 11 days
 

What field are you working in? Is it directly related to your Army training? Welcome back to the norm. Are you coming back to the US?

not really, but I will soon be, contract mechanic pays $28- $40 and hour but I cant make up my mind because I would have to pay German taxes, which is high as ----
I was a mechanic in the army. now I drive a supply truck, hopfully I will get a job with the USPS here in the 5 months. because it counts towards my retirement, and it include the time served in the military

I am staying here in Germany for now, because I can get away with a lot of stuff being that I am American and the Germans dont regulate us on cars.
but I hate the fact that I cant get ---- shipped to my APO address, or I have to pay twice the price, even though it cost the same or less to ship stateside, but other than that its ok, everything is expensive here also.

but I am happy that I am out
