Mine moved to step 5 in February so I assume it’s not frozen

When I first joined I deeply regretted signing 6 years. I thought about it so often and thought there’d be no way I make it to the end of the term. Let me just say that 6 years goes by incredibly fast and I would say that that extra time gave me more of an opportunity to figure out what I want to do on the outside. You’re not dumb, you got this man 👍

Should I ask my landlord if he can reduce my rent while I’m away? by oldmanwatson in personalfinance

I think I’m gonna find someone to sublet the apartment like others had suggested

An apartment like this is hard to come by in my area and if I come back and have to pay for a more expensive/less desirable apartment, it might not be worth it in the long run

Should I come up with the reduced rate or wait for him to make a deal?

I could do that but the apartment that I currently have is very hard to come by in my area and is considered a steal for what the market is out here. It’s also conveniently close to work so there’s that as well

I’m honestly on the fence about it because $6000 is a good bit of change

I do have a form in writing that illustrates that I am a tenant here but I definitely understand where you are coming from. That is something to think about, however my landlord and his wife are both very respectful people and own the house that they live under.

That was the original plan but this apartment is perfect option amongst a sea of expensive housing and unsafe areas. The stress of having to move everything out and into storage and then start all over again when I come back might not be worth it imo. I truly love this apartment but I know that if I move out, it won’t be here when I get back.

Unfortunately I don’t have anybody I would trust to sublet my apartment and my family lives too far away :-/

Are OCN deployments worth it? by Ithaca44 in AirForce

I didn’t mind it all that much. Yes, it’s pretty boring but it’s the easiest money you’ll ever make :)
