I love my job.

9 Years in the Army and i finally came to my senses.

I only work 161 days a year Offshore, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, 2 weeks on 4 weeks off.

The money is excellent for what i do but the time off is the key.

I get to take the wee man to school and watch him play football, i get to his parent meetings and am home at nights unlike some poor dad's so i help him with his homework and stuff, things my old man never did.

Sure the 2 weeks away are hard but i am sure i actually get more quality time with the family than some poor sods who work 9-5.
