On the Road Again
Well,I don't even have a year under my belt here at Fort Knox yet,and I've just recieved a levy alert that I'm being sent to Fort hood,Texas.Gee,I was kinda hoping to stay put awhile......well,thats ok-I've been talking to others,and Fort hood levies have been hitting all over post,and they're all pinpoint assignments to First Cav...so,I'll be going home.I grew up militarily in third corps,headquartered at Fort Hood,and served with First Cav in Desert Storm-except this time I'll be going there as a staff sergeant and not as a lowly spec-4.I thought I'd have a fight on my hands with household six and the kids about this move,but they're actually rather excited about it.militarily,it'll be pretty hoo-ah for myself too-I get to go to one of the new brigades being formed under the army transformation,and it'll be cool-plus,it looks like I'll qualify for a re-up bonus of 15K AND be stabilized in this assignment for at least 3 years-not bad considering I LIKE Texas,and I've got friends there-hell,now that I'm a 19D,I'll REALY get into the whole First Cav thingy....

Damn..I might have stayed in for a re-up bonus of $15K...good for you.

2 questions. Is the $15K spread out over the term of the re-enlistment and does this mean yer gonna pay me the $5.00 you owe me? Oh, and you'll still be ugly, just RICH and ugly.
not sure if the bonus is lump sum or not-if so,they need to fly me to Iraq for a day,so I can recieve it tax free-not even sure I'll get it,but a re-up guy in my college classes THINKS so-I'll talk to squadron re-up about it and find out more-and Clint,yeah Texas is hot,but it gets awful hot and muggy here in Kentucky too-I'm leaving in late June or early July,depending on how much leave I take
