Help!

Ok blog-O-sphere. Hubbys recruiter is afraide his age waiver for Nuke won't go through apparently they've had a couple declined recently. We are trying to get info about some of his different options one that sounds good is intelligence he's looking at the linguist category online right now earlier he was looking at IS? He read the offshore rotation schedule and it sounded like 36 months on a boat 36 home? Could anyone shed some light on the wifely life of any jobs similar to these?
Thanks!

I promised awards over the weekend and completly forgot...then Miss Bethany @ A southern belle and her officer just gave me another one so don't I feel like a horrible person! Awards tonight or tomorrow, a real update tomorrow or Wednesday I promise!
Mini update--Friday was my last day at Kentucky Kingdom :( today was busy with class this morning and filing unemployment I did some homework and spent some quality time with the puppy dog :). Now hubby and I are going to meet some friends for dollar sushi night at a yummy local resturant.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with an accounting headhunter/recruiter to talk about jobs in the area and what I'm looking for. I also have a phone interview for a job with my sororities national foundation which would be in the Atlanta area (apparently I'm being drawn that direction for some reason) :). Wish me luck

More later!

hubby...

I'm spending some super quality time with hubby tonight...I'm sitting in the living room floor watching tv and playing on the computer, he's asleep on the couch...such is our marriage...

Still no word on the job at Six Flags in Atlanta :(

I had a second phone interview this evening for the job with my sorority foundation.  It sounds AMAZING I hope that they offer it to me because I would love it, only downside is relocating but that's going to happen eventually anyway so I might as well get used to it.

Met with a recruiter for the Louisville area yesterday, he sent me a description for a great job last night another great oppurtunity. 

My KY Kingdom boss just sent me an email, he has a job offer on the table and just recieved word that they may be replacing/are going to be firing my counterpart at the same park soon asked if I want it....I'm considering it mut it is colder there than here and farther away from Charleston.  I'll deal with not being able to live with hubby when he's in school but this one is far enough away I might not be able to visit him regularly on weekends not sure if that is something I'm willing to do...I told him if I get fed up with the job search and it is still available I'll consider it but only after he and his family have moved there so I can get a real opinion from his wife on the weather instead of just the one weekend view.

Thats pretty much my life right now...Wish me luck!

Mrs. Pave @ Air Force Recruiting Mrs. Pave has some great stories and I love reading all she has to say. 

Cassie @ Southern Domestic Goddess I love that Cassie makes me feel like I have someone on my weight loss journey with me, even if she is kicking my ass :)

Proud Liberal Army Wife again, not a new find but there is a lot of information in this blog that other military spouses and future military spouses need to have at hand, and more importantly LAW has a great writing style that I love!!!
