So sorry to hear that Beth. As you know, I've just been there for 10 months, and it sucks. Last time it happened to me was several years ago, just before Xmas. You survive though. Good luck.

> I am not hopeful for an other VFP job, so I am continuing my training (self-taught) on Java and other languages as I search for my next job.

> It is weird, because this is only the 2nd job - 1st civilian job - that I have ever had, so I am learning what I need to do to file for unemployment and have to figure out interviews and cover letters again. My first job was the Military, and I am a retired reserve now, which means I will have a retirement when/if I make it to 60-65. :)
