FINALLY!

Last week it finally happened!  Jordan was finally approved for PTS!  Talk about a huge weight off our chests.  For the last few months we have been hearing of great sailors all over getting tossed out. And here we are stuck in this hole being denied month after month.  Got to the point we assumed he was going to get the axe and we where discussing what our next step would be.  But the Navy gods smiled on him once more and he was finally approved on his last chance (thanks for that photo finish!).  So now he works on his paper work to reenlist for 6 more years.  That will put him on contract for over 14yrs meaning he will be grandfathered in when it comes to PTS.  But of course its the Navy so not everything is so neat and handed to you with a bow.  Because they waited until the last friggin minute to approve him, hes outside his window for orders.  They gave him one glance, he said anything but overseas.  If he doesn't get any he picked, next month the Navy will assign him to Needs of the Navy.  That means we won't have any say where we go next.  But realistically as long as it's in the 48 we don't care! We've basically been over seas for almost 6yrs, and we are sick of paying out the nose for everything from plane tickets to a gallon of milk!
