The Clock has started

We found out unofficially on Tuesday and officially on Thursday that Steven was not going to get promoted. This was his second look, and we knew the possibility was there. We also knew what that meant. It means he'll be getting separated from the Army. And with his time in service we fall short for a severance package and extended health care benefits. So the pressure to find jobs is on! We both have to figure out what we want to do, and I think because we haven't set a limitation on the location, we should be alright. He has some resources within the Army that we can use and he should be able to take time if needed to go interview and what not within his last 6 months. We are sad to leave the Army, and we wish it would have been on our terms, however, we are looking forward to what the next chapter will be and ready to tackle all those obstacles. We have both grown and learned so much in the past 4 years and we will take those with us.
