A tough decision--need advice!

A tough decision

I need advice!

My wife just came down with cancer, so she'll need insurance for the rest of her life.  However, I am totally miserable in the Army.  My wife tells me to go to OCS, that I'd be happier as an officer, but I don't believe that I would be.  Besides, there's no guarantee that I'd pass it, especially since I wouldn't be able to hide my bad attitude about both the Army and the War for Iraq.

Even if an insurance company accepts me, in the private sector, the co-pays could amount to tens of thousands of dollars if the cancer should re-emerge.

There are no MOSs that I would enjoy in the Army; I am totally dissatisfied with my current MOS--intelligence analyst.  The Air Force has an MOS that I'd enjoy--Computer Programmer--but the Air Force is not hiring right now. 

I have a year left on my contract. 

 What should I do?

You should get out of the armed forces. Don't worry, start planning for a government job before you ETS - you won't have to worry about the medical coverage that way.
