We&#39;re leaving our shore three months early for a lot of reasons. The worst part of it is having to go back to boat life early, but everything else about the decision is totally right for us. <br /><br />I would warn you, though, that dry dock is NOT going to be like a shore duty. We thought the same thing when his boat went into a long overhaul, and it was pretty tough going. Lots of long hours, unpredictable schedule, and it was kind of a relief when he finally took the boat back out to sea. Still, though, no being gone for months, and you can call him if you need to talk to him, so there are pluses.<br /><br />P.S. Why do you think you&#39;ll get more money on a deployment? Something to do with a reenlistment bonus timing? Just curious because I haven&#39;t heard of anything like that that would have helped my hubby get any more money. (Although we are pushing it off right now in hopes that the latest bonus list will give him something to cheer about.)Anahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13472342143854293192noreply@blogger.com
