We finally heard from the detailer about our short tour. He told E to send him an e-resume with the places we would be willing to consider. Since most of the IT1 billets have already been filled, we really didn’t much of a list to choose from. There were very few pros and mostly cons to the list. But it’s pretty much going to be either Petaluma, St Louis or Milwaukee. We really don’t know what the best out of those are, lol, and we don’t know what the worst will be. It goes like this.
***Petaluma***
Pros: Closer to family and we have friends in the area.
Cons: Not a financially wise choice and the job would be horrible for E and do nothing for his career.
***St Louis***
Pros: the best financial situation out of the 3 with a low cost of living in the area, and could potentially give us an edge next transfer season – if the detailer remembers we sacrificed ourselves on the altar of billets, lol.
Cons: terrible job for E (24/7/356 help desk) and far away from our families.
***Milwaukee***
Pros: The best job for DH and the one he would like the most. Oh, and all the beer factories (this was an E pro, not mine, lol!)
Cons: not the best situation finically, far away from family, doesn’t really seem like there is a lot of good housing in the area.
So there you have. That is where we stand with where we are going to be going. E said it felt wrong to have so few places on his e-resume, normally he has at least 20! Hopefully we will know by the end of next week! Keep your fingers crossed for us that whatever happens turns out great for us.
