Re-Enlisted

I forgot to mention a couple important things this week...
When David was deployed September 2007-January 2008, he got an Article 15. The result of that Article 15 was a stripe taken away (which cost us $800 a month pay until he tests and gets his next stripe back!!!) and an additional $500 fine. He felt this Article 15 was unjust and appealed to have it reversed. The result of the appeal is no. The officer felt that officers need to stick with officers and so he did not want to overturn another officer's decision. The upper levels of military are VERY politcal...which is why David has no desire to be one! So David was disappointed about the appeal, BUT...
He was granted re-enlistment. If they wanted too, because he got in trouble, they could have very easily said...nah, you can't re-enlist. BUT...May 1, 2008 David took his last re-enlistment oath! March 21, 2014 David will hit 20 years in the military. At 20 years, you can retire! May 1, 20014 his enlistment is up! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOO! We're in the home stretch! 14 years in, 6 to go.
