Country:  | Well I will I will be signing a government contract on the military post where I work in the next few weeks. Going to get out of AAFES finally.
It is not the aviation job that I want but it is better than working for AAFES and until I get a good aviation job again this will do and is better for me and my wife since I will be on a government payroll.
