My Son the Full-Time Civilian

Well, my son, Anthony is officially out of the Air Force. Monday he began ROTC, which will last the entire three years of college.

Anthony joined the Air Force four years ago. I won’t even talk about the time flying. He’s been very well taken care of while in service. Housing and food allowance and even his medical was paid for. If it weren’t for the Air Force, I don’t know what he would have done about his college education. but knowing my son, he would have found a way.

He just bought his first huse and he’s also going to be paying his own medical insurance for him and his family and he says he understands better now why there’s such a healthcare crisis. It’s really expensive. The highest cost is for his one year old daughter.He admits that they’re spoiled in the Air Force.:)

It’s been a long time since I’ve had insurance so I don’t know much about choosing the one with the least expensive copay, but Blue Advantage looks like a good example. However, they only sell their insurance to residents of North Carolina, so, I guess that leaves Anthony out.

He just got out of the service and he’s already looking forward to going back. When he first went to his duty station, he was bored with his job and now he says it’s the best job he’s ever had. He was one of those who didn’t feel like he was working because he loved his job so much.

When he re-enlists, my son will be a lieutenant and doing something new. Will he still feel like he’s not working at work? Hmm…
