We're not holding our breath on the chances of promotion. The career fair the other day yielded some interesting insights and we learned there is no such thing as too soon when looking for that first job after the Army. The market isn't very hot, but the vibe is that "something" will open up, even if that means a contract gig., which my impression defines as temp work.
Impatience can make one wish to just get it over with and drop papers to get out now. The uncertainty threatens to make lemmings of those who panic. So as not to be irrational, we'll have to bide our time and wait for the process to play out in order earn early retirement. To do otherwise would be foolish indeed. You'd think I would have learned to be more patient by now, but I haven't.
Still I'm both anxious and excited to see what the civilian life could offer. I'd prefer to look for the rainbow around the corner instead of the rain cloud. Besides, if I set my heart on retirement, experience predicts they'll decide to promote him after all, and we'll stuck for four more years. Who knows...
