It's not 100% about the $ but when she realized it wasn't gonna be there, she started thinking about finishing college. She has been serving for over 5 years, in that time she has taken a total of 1 class online. They work 12 hours a day 6 days a week, she just hasn't had time to take more than that. Before she signed up she had 1.5 years of college under her belt. Now she is planning on getting out and finishing college. If they weren't offering $0.00 even a small bonus she would have stayed in. This is the US Navy loss and I just don't understand it but I'm going to support her no matter what.
Yeah it's been a whirlwind 5 years she has been with LHA 6 since pre-deployment days. It's alot of hard work, long hours, and underways through the last couple of years for them to get ready for the 1st deployment. Those 12+ hour days 6 days a week only include when they aren't underway which is probably half the time, getting everything tested and all the qualifications. She sure has earned that plank owner title!
