This really sucks for TSgt Devine, however one thing I realized along time ago that is whether you do 4 years or 20 years in the military, this lifestyle is all temporary. You need to have a plan that is at least 3 - 5 years out, in the event something sudden like this happens. I will never forget when I attended the NCO Academy at Ramstein - the Command Chief of USAFE came to speak to our class and she told us she had no idea what she was going to do once she left the military. For those of you who know who she is, you would imagine a better answer coming from her, considering all that she has accomplished.

Bottom line is that the more Blue Kool-Aid you drink, the less clarity and perspective you have. Learn to live within your means and always plan for a rainy day.
