As much as we hate to admit it, we know we're being sucked into a plot by our kids to challenge our authority. Their goal, of course, is to manipulate us into letting them have their way (which gets more clever as they get older and graduate to the "my-friends'-parents-let-them-do-it" strategy).

DoD Toolkit Helps Servicemembers in Transition

Getting out of the military can be a tough decision to make, especially with unemployment rates high. For those leaning toward that decision, a good GPS is a must have item. Fortunately, the Department of Defense has recently released just such a tool. The Career Decision Toolkit offers CD and hyperlinked web resources to help Service Members and their families with Goals, Plan and Succeed (GPS).
