>Run for local council
are you a bong, if so what party?
>5 year plans
Why bother? I don't even know what will happen next week? Having a 5 year plan is like having a plan for what the weather will be like in 5 years. It's completely asinine

Raise money. I'd like at least $3000 in savings. Bare minimum
If I play my cards right I am pay off my jeep, but that will take a toll in the 3k plan
Qualify QAI
Possibly buy a house with my VA loan, or continue to rent. October is when my lease is up.
>2017
Transfer to new job (shore duty, military)
Start on college in the aerospace field. If I take a test I can get an aerospace technician degree, so do that. start an apprenticeship in the field at my job, and work on the engineering side of the field with college.
If I didn't pay off jeep last year, automatic payments will settle the matter.
Make contacts with Lockheed Martin, who works hand in hand with my job on shore duty.
Save $10k this year
Possibly get married to the girl I live with right now
>2018
By now the stock market will have crashed and burned, so buy stocks in an American Auto manufacturing company. If America bails out a company it's going to be our cars. Weed will be becoming more socially acceptable so invest in PM before they start selling it.
Continue degree, contacts, saving money.
Gf/future wife gets birth control implant out, possibly start a family
>2019
Continue saving, education, and contacts.
I will be out of the military by now. Using my TS clearance, degree, and familiarity with the programs/work, apply for Lockheed Martin, who is also conveniently taking over my shore duty over the next few years entirely.
Backup Plan: get a job in the shipyard as it will continue my pension plan
Backup plan#2: move to New Hampshire and use my job experience to get a job in General Electric with my dad and sister as a reference.
Everyone who I tell my plan to says I have a good plan, so huzzah
