PneumonicBook posted:So everyone says to not sell back your leave, which I agree with...but what if you just worked until your eaos and then sell it back? Doesn't that make more sense since youre making more money that way? Assuming you don't ahve a job you'd be working at during terminal of course. We can discuss on skype later, but the biggest issue that could come up is that if you file for unemployment, they are going to count the extra money from selling your leave against you, so you would have to wait however many weeks before you could start drawing your benefits. I wouldn't make a decision on leave one way or the other yet, the best possible thing you could do honestly is if you got a local job, would be to double dip and start your new job while on leave.

pathetic gbs homo posted:Long time no see bros. So currently, my EAOS is December of this year and my plan is to use my GI bill and start school the fall of 2016, which leaves me with about an eight month gap in between...last night I was on watch discussing my plan with a surprisingly level headed chief who floated the idea of extending my contract for six months (which would put my EAOS at the mid-point of the ship's next deployment). If you are in a technical rate you can probably get a job for 40-50k starting pretty easy. If you are one of those poor bastards that shuffles papers or paints stuff it might be harder, but I know that at one point you could get a pretty decent job working on a tug boat in San Diego if you had any experience doing deck seaman stuff and you can English good.

Sir Lucius posted:It's a selfish mindset to have, but the Navy has to convince me to stay in, not the other way around. Throwing a big fat SRB is a good start, but we also hang around a lot of overpaid contractors that fill our heads with ideas (and sometimes try to under-the-table poach us). I honestly never commit to the "im definitely getting out!" mentality, because life can always change. But I will eventually come to a point where I need to make that decision, and I'll have an eval of my own for the Navy. I really can say I haven't really had that bad of an experience, and my leadership does a pretty good job and makes fair judgments. But sometimes you can do everything right and still not get a perfect evaluation. If the Navy can't suit my needs I might have to give it a P. That's probably the most mature way to handle the whole situation, honestly. Things change all the time, maybe some crazy flip bitch will get pregnant with your baby and you will be too scared to push her down the stairs, so it's always good to keep that door open. Definitely make sure that you keep on good terms with your contractors. I didn't pursue work with the DOD or and contracts when I separated, but I would like to think that I would have maybe stood some chance getting a job if I would have tried since I wasn't a shithead to the contractors we had around.
