Thinking on going GERMAN again

I finally got a DoD job, and boy is it A. Rough B. 'Who you know' C. Favoritsm heavy. And it has a five year rule, with fluxing hours. I go from 20 hours to 30-35 hours on a whim.

They change the schedule with less than 12 hours notice, and unless I am on vaccation I don't get weekends off, making hunting not possiable. And my time off never is the same as my wife and kids. After not seeing them in the states for 14 months, I don't like never seeing them now.

My old German boss called outa the blue and asked if I would like to come back........................even after all I went through to get with the US Forces.

It would mean full insurance, regular vaccation (6 weeks a year), and always off for Christmas and New Years day. But I would lose my APO privliges, and have to go back to strict German hunting equipment, which means EXPENSIVE!

But with my job now I can't use what I already have.......catch 22.

Am I pathetic or what
