Orders!

So being within one year of my separation from the Air Force, I was able to extend my enlist by 12 months so I could apply for BOP (Base of Preference). I put in for Nellis, Luke and Charleston. Shortly after I put in for BOP the annual bonus list came out saying they were cutting the bonus for my job in half. I figured it was all said I done I wouldn't get the base I wanted and would get out of the Air Force and move back to Phoenix. I got off a night shift and was going to days the next week so I planned on getting up early. I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep. I woke up at just before 3 pm and checked my email. I had an automated email telling me I had orders. I threw on clothes told Richard I had orders I would call when I got to work and saw were to. I got to work and had orders to Charleston. I had the next day to reenlist to get the full bonus and it was 4pm at this point on a Thursday. My superintendent took me up stairs and got it setup for me to reenlist the next day. I reenlisted the next day and was able to get the full bonus. That is taxed at 25% hope I get some of that back in taxes. My pessimism was bad but, everything worked out for the better.
