Lifes Plan

Everyone keeps asking what our plan is so here we go, as most of you know Richard was set to retire from the Army with his 20 years this year, after much discussion we decided to pull his retirement papers and stay in another three years. Part of our reasoning behind this was the economy is so bad right now, in three years Richards truck will be paid off, Stevie will be almost done with college, Levi will be graduating high school, I will hopefully be close to having my masters degree, with any luck we will be pretty much debt free. Plus he thinks he will be promoted again next year so our retirement percentage will increase. He just got another good conduct medal and gets to add another strip to his dress uniform, it already looks so nice, this will make it even nicer!
We are busy now trying to figure out what not retiring will mean as far as what job he will be doing, he cannot/will not do recruiting anymore, so we are trying to get a straight answer as to if he can return to his previous MOS, also we are taking care of all the doctor appointments he has now, he got so behind on taking care of himself in Colorado when we were 5 hours from the nearest post hospital. Today he went for injections in his back and next week he is getting a machine that will deliver low grade shocks to his back, all this should help his herniated disk. He is temporarily assigned to the WTB unit, which basically means he has to many appointments to be in his regular unit, but we have been told he is close to being RTD (return to duty), I think he is getting anxious to be back in a normal unit.
Then there is the on going question of where we will be stationed, Richard thinks we will most likely be left here for the remainder of his time, but that could change, will he be deployed? Again that is possible, they just deployed from here in October and he did not have to go, but it is always possible he will go later. Where will we live when we get out? Our agreement was always that we would return to Colorado when we were done, but now we are discussing some other options just giving us somethings to think about.
Think that should answer every ones questions for now, as we know more we will update you all.
