Not sure how to say this any simpler so here goes..
I may not be around during the weekends much. The VA told me two weeks ago that my retirement pay and medical benefits were being terminated effective the end of February. Some bull about my disability only being good for 5 years from the date of my medical discharge and that since I didn't put in the paperwork to request reevaluation, my benefits will cease until the paperwork has been processed and I've been reevaluated as still being disabled. This is what happens when the military tells you one thing, the VA is told something else, and no one tells the disabled service member until it's too late.
Most of you know I hate my current job that requires me to answer phones 24/7 including all holidays which does not offer any benefits of any kind, simply deducts my payroll for taxes.
So that said I wrote a friend who works at US Training Centers main offices in Mynock North Carolina. A recruiter from their offices called me this morning and wants me to come up and visit their facilities this week for interviews for a position that will require a crazy schedule that covers mainly weekends.
I'm not thrilled about working for them but they do pay well and do offer medical and life. If I'm offered a position that does include said benefits and decent pay I'm going to take it and commute to work.
