S20 and at least one other guy in his unit were activated late for their deployment, and until two days ago were doing stuff at the reserve center (still active), Toys for Tots stuff, and who knows what. Anyway, his orders had him active for what appeared to be one day short of a year, which, according to him, significantly reduced the GI Bill benefits he would be eligible for. Last weekend his buddy sent him a text... "2008 was leap year". They kept quiet, and went to the personnel office to process out Wednesday. The person filling out the paperwork started to put in 364 days, S20 said, no, that's wrong.... They disagreed, he said, "Let's get the calendar." Went through it all, added it up, and what do you know, 365 days! So the form that counts says one year, rather than a day short.
Most of the time the dog gets you, but now and then, you get the dog!
