Going Back In

[RobLatta]

It look's like I'm in need of a change in venue.
I've been looking forward to Finally finishing school, so I'm not busy from 8am untill Midnight everyday of the week.

So I've been weighing my options. and Ive decided To return to the Military.

I left Active Duty Army in 2005 after alittle over 4 years in the Airborne Infantry, I was a team leader as a pfc after just a few months of getting to my unit. Deployed a handfull of times to Afghanistan and Iraq. I got out after I got Hit by an IED In Iraq.

And as much as they like to email me and try to intice me back in the Army. ( I have received 258 emails since last spring) So I found out that all of my college credit, 1 Associates Degree and half of my 2nd Degree will go towards rank in the IRR. So I'm submitting the paperwork now, and will get some rank, E-5 or E-6 if I can get an additional few points.

So the change in Venue you ask?
Airforce..havent decided yet active, or reserve but I'm looking into a Public Affairs Job as a Photojournalist right now 3V0x2
its now a 3N0X2 I guess. I've been told I will keep my army rank, Won't have to go through Basic training again. Just get the paperwork filled out, report to my unit, get a school date for the Military photographers school at Fort Meade, then roll on.

So this should be fun. If anyone has any Airforce friends that are at pope int he Public Affairs section let me know Im interested in chatting witht hem before I start jumping though hoops.
