The job situation here is pathetic. He did get a job but the pay was so low
it wasn't even worth his while. He is working for the Coast Guard where he
used to work and doing what he used to do but as a civilian. He wanted to
do that here, but there were no openings. Purportedly this job will be
going all civilian in 2013 so he may be able to come back here then. At
least he is living close enough to his relatives that he can go visit them
on his days off.

This situation is less than ideal because he is having to pay rent there.
But there is no way we could have made our house payment and kept up with
the rest of the bills had he not done this.
