Stretch, appreciate the feedback. I absolutely can work, as of now I run a business from home (ecommerce) and it does ok for me, but I do plan to get involved in something more conventional once we get up to NY. I am in a very fortunate position where I dont overly need the money, thus can be picky as to what I do. Going to look into some possible GS openings in the area. My PTSD is a bit of a long story, it certainly has not gotten any worse, in fact I was more than prepared to have my claim cancelled all together if thats what it took to re-enter into the guard or reserves, but was told today thats not an option. I was a bomb dog handler in the Marine Corps (K9) so I have been thinking of starting a related business in the civilian sector as well. Just a shame I can not serve in any capacity, I miss it and was pretty good at it. I feel I would be an asset to a guard unit, but what can you do? A Happy Vets Day to you as well, much appreciate your service to our country!
chuck57thSig, I would bet you have been to the area we currently live in, (Augusta, GA)? Obviously from your handle I am assuming you were Signal in the Army, this probably did your training here at Ft. Gordon? I also appreciate your input, I did think about a GS job, had not thought about a State Job, although basically the same tactic. We are moving to an area very close to West Point, so I have been looking at some on base GS openings. Im not entirely sure how the "buy back time" works, I dont believe I could retire after six years like as if I was back on active duty, someone told me its a bit more complicated than that? I will certainly find out. What exactly is SSDI/SSI? Thanks for the info as well, and appreciate your service, Happy Vets Day!!
