Great News EVERYBODY!
Apparently since G.W.'s decision to increase military presence in the middle east, the Guard and Reserve have changed their former policies on the deployment limitations previously in place. Before, we were limited to 24 months in a 5 year period... I'd have a deployment limitation of no more than 10 months of active duty for the next 5 years. The policy has not only been changed, it's pretty much been annihilated. The new policy states that there IS no limitation to the period of time a guard or reservist can be deployed, just that they'll receive extra pay if redeployed within 2 years of their previous deployment, and also if they do indeed have to serve more than 24 months active duty. The other perk is that instead of 16 month deployments, they're trying to shave them down to 12 months, including training... wow, 2 months shorter than the last one, thanks guys. That really helps prevent the entire stagnation of my life that happens when I'm deployed, thanks for the consideration.
I've said it several times, and I'll say it again: Fuck Bush, fuck the army, I'd rather have 30k in student loans and drive a beater than put up with this bullshit anymore. School and a car just isn't worth 3+ years that I've given these fucks, not to mention the next 3 of my contract.
Democrats... please save me.
