John was out for 2 years. In that amount of time he got a DUI, met me, got me pg, married me, and then moved us from OH. to MD. He couldn't get a good job to save his life in our hometown. He made good money in MD. but it was really tight. His entire month salary was less than 1 paycheck now. He tried to get promoted but they drug their feet too long deciding on it. We found out a few days before we left to move Breanna and I back to OH. while he was going to be in VA. and then San Diego that they were going to give him the promotion (it would have been $10 more an hour and a manager position). But it was too late at that point. He was an E-5 when he got out and was knocked down to E-4. We did get a bonus though and when we got it he was deployed so we got it tax free. He re-enlisted in July 2001 and in July 2004 he was capped to first so them knocking him down in rank really hasn't hindered him any.
