Well, she has a 4 yr old daughter that she wants her mom (my boss) to take care of while she's gone for 6 weeks for basic training. The 4 yr old has been in Kansas for the last three weeks visiting her dad. I told her that she should suggest he keep her for the 6 weeks of training. I can't believe our insurance rep would try to sign her up knowing she's a single mom. I'm sure $1500 per month for one weekend a month and two weeks a year sounds good to her right now though, since she is looking for work.

I'm just a tad bit confused. Did he or didn't he talk or into it... or is she just thinking about it?? If she hasn't signed anything yet.. I say NOOO she shouldn't do it. If she did get sent off to the Middle East that would be way too sad for the baby!! $1500.00 a month may sound good now... but not when she's seeing people die everyday and living through hell in the middle east, IMHO. It just wouldn't be worth it to me, if it's the money she's after. If it's because she seriously feels strong enough to put her life on the line for sake of this country then I have the utmost respect for her, but still feel it's unfair to the child again... just my opinion.
