From then on when I changed from one job to the next I always had things setup so that I never missed a days work. That is until I married the wife(03/Dec/2004) and began moving from one country to another as the following spouse. Now I set jobs up well in advance of heading for the next post, and fortunately the Department lets spouses accumulate work time towards a US Gov retirement from post to post to post. I know thats just me. For me there is no reason to leave a job unless another one is lined up so that my family never goes without. Unless of course you get fired, but that has never happened to me so I cannot share any experiences about that. Proper planning is all it takes.

I agree with you on terms on planning well ahead of time. Aside from having patience, that's one of the most important things I learned from the U.S. Navy after almost 19 years of service
