Prices range from $63 to $170 for a 10 day holiday in Hong Kong. You get what you pay for I suppose! Any suggestions? Have only looked at Flight Centre, RAC and Zuji cover so far.

Army spouses ... what is the recruiter NOT telling my husband?
May 29, 2010, 3:18 amHe is 36, a firefighter and a medic. He is frustrated with his job / life and now thinks he should enlist. First, it was reserves, now he is being pushed for active duty by the recruiter. I do not trust the recruiter, it sounds like a load of BS to me. They claim that wages earned in the Army are tax free, moving costs are paid for, medical insurance is free for the family and he would make ~$1050/ month housing allowance to pay our mortgage and ~$1450 a month pay. He thinks this is a good deal. They have told him he could be in Phyc. Ops, then something called 61Whiskey (some sort of medevac) and the latest is that he could get a Phy. Asst. degree in two yrs, with a 4 yr. commitment tto active duty! (Masters in civilian world.) They want him to be driven to MEPS by a recruiter Friday night, test all day Sat. and sign more papers. I think this stinks and I resent not being given a say in this. I think he is being lied to and will be trapped into something he hates. Insight please??? I am not trying to insult or take anything away from those who are serving in our Military. I am just upset because I have two kids, 3 dogs, a house .... and I am facing having to do everything alone while my husband goes off to find himself. I am working on my teaching certification and would like to have us both settled in careers. I have yet to see the honest financial benefit of enlistment. Is it noble ... yes. I just think that he is looking at this with rose colored glasses. I do not think it is worth my kids loosing their father to put our lives in the hands of some recruiter trying to meet a quota. I also read that the divorce rate is 78%. Is this really worth doing? Please only answer if you have first hand knowledge. Thank you!! -
