I'll Take Okinawa for $56,000 Pat!

I know Pat is the WOF guy but I couldn’t think of the Jeopardy guy’s name.

Ok so it didn’t take a weekend for me to make my decision. I talked it over with the wife and she was in agreement. We talked about the ups and downs of this decision and the ups outweighed the downs.

When I got to work today, I replied to the Okinawa offer with a yes and a few conditions. There are specific units that I want to be at if indeed I end up going to Okiwana and I hope that one of my three choices will be fulfilled.

With that end of the deal pending, I paid a visit to the Career Retention Specialist (Career Planner) and began my paper work. All of this hinges on whether I can get orders “in the system” so that I can reenlist 18 months prior to my end of contract and raise my right hand while still in Iraq. So we’ll see what happens in the coming days.
