Let's Hear it for Affirmative Action

Dan got the word today-its a no go on DC. They had requested women and minority nominations and the monitor couldn't find anyone fitting that to send along. So he sent Dan and 2 other guys. The packets didn't even make it to the SevNav, before they were tossed out. They seriously only wanted women and minorities. So, that sucks for us.

Now, what does it mean for us? It means we still don't know what we're doing this summer. We have a couple options. Dan can get out, Dan can stay another year here and see what's available next year, or the monitor can find us somewhere to go. Right now there is nowhere for us to go, despite a severe shortage of lawyers. We won't get into that. We will talk about the fact that Dan refuses to be here another year. We're okay with CP, but he says he joined the Marine Corps to travel and staying here another year is not traveling. He also really does not want to get out. Thus, Dan will be talking to the monitor and trying like crazy to get a billet he can live with in an area we can live with. Yuma was the only thing tossed out a few weeks ago. Not the end of the world, but not where Dan would like to be.

So, grumble grumble and wait some more! Always my favorite thing.

I can't believe it! Oh wait, yes I can! I hate the roller coaster though. Hopefully something good will come out!
