Well... Jim told me today that he isn't sure he wants to re-enlist next time he is up. (Not for three more years). He said he really wants us to think hard about whether or not we want to continue spending every other year apart for 10 more years (which is how long he would have left) just to get his retirement.
With that in mind I decided I better change my plans a little bit. A general studies associate's degree isn't going to do me much good if he decided he wants out. That won't really help me get a job I thank.
So I'm changing my AA plans to a business and management degree. Hopefully then if he decides to get out I can at least get an entry level position somewhere.
I'm a little bummed, because i was looking forward to taking an anthropology class next term. I already have all the electives I need though, and need to focus on the Business degree courses. So no anthropology, business management 101.
Jim said it wasn't neccesary but I don't want him to stay in just because I am not employable. This way, I can finish my associate's while he is downrange, and then I can still work towards my bachelors in whatever I want if he stays in. If not, or if God forbid something should happen to him I am employable.

I hope it's something you like. It must be a hard decision for both of you.
