Hi guy, so you are thinking of getting out? Well the job market is a bit slow right now, but there are jobs to be found. Just a heads up from someone who got blindsided by a couple of things when I got out.

A. I had to nearly double my annual take home pay to maintain the life style I had in the Navy.

B. If you end up taking the Unemployment benefits you will be entitled to, make sure you put about 20% of it aside, because they ARE subject to income tax and none will have been withheld for you.

C. Enjoy civilian life [img]smile.gif[/img] I know what you mean about body fat... I knew a guy who had a body that would have rivaled that of Arnie S. in his hey day, and the military,s measurements still showed him as over body fat due to his neck size.

To paraphrase some guy off of SNL, Civilian life has been beddy beddy good to me! [/QUOTE]

Thanx for the advice, I attended the ACAP (a class to make the transition to teh civilian world easier) class last week, I got some great literature, and websites for job searching

Nacht and Cloudy, I'll see what I can do, but I can't make promises
