Our impression of OH is that Mike will have to travel throughout the month and be gone for a week at a time. This is our biggest reservation. The first year or two would be especially busy as he would be learning to fly a new aircraft and would have to do that in OK. We know that the Lord would sustain us regardless of what Mike's work schedule is, but if we get to choose......... you know what I mean. Our impression is after the first few years things slow down a bit, keeping the week long monthly trips and a daily work schedule. The two "hurdles" to doing this option were 1. Mikes hematocrit was 2 points too low for the air force. He had that re-drawn this week, and it is now with in normal limits. 2. The recruiter thought that since Mike was passed over for promotion that he was ineligible for an inter-service transfer. Since we knew guys with the same circumstances that had done it, we are pretty sure he is wrong, but it is taking some time for that all to be cleared up. In the mean time, Mike's dental record was lost. So he needs to get a new exam so he can have one. :)
Our other option right now is to stay here in FL. Transferring to Marine Reserves then to Navy Reserves. There are so many pro's and con's to both of these options. And options piggy-backing off of options. And we are learning new things everyday it seems.
We are really praying for direction right now, that the "best" option would be clear. It is seeming right now that we have 2 "good" options, which is really a blessing.
Objective or bias opinions are welcome. Wise counsel as well.
Here's a new option.....move to Nebraska! :)
