u/Electrical-Leg-5412

I got about a year and a half left and I'm looking to be an electrician when I get out. I did some under the table work in the past before I joined but I wanna get a job in San Diego.

What's the best route for reliable work? I have a mortgage I'm trying to pay and I don't wanna end up losing the house but I refuse to stay in the corps.

Mortgage is $3000 a month.

So first off we bought a car that was not the smallest price tag but we were financially comfortable enough to do it pretty easy. Went to work next day to show it off and my Superior who was a master sergeant was pretty pissed at me that I didn't give him a heads up that we were shopping or even thinking of buying a car.

Fast forward 2 months and we started looking at houses more seriously. We've been talking out for a while but we are ready to take that step now. We gave master sergeant a heads up this time but pretty quickly we have already found our dream location. It has everything we're looking for and it's within budget. The problem is that we would enter escrow 4 days after we gave him a heads up we were shopping. We sent an offer and already have a counter offer and are working the numbers but haven't giving a heads up since saying we were shopping in general.

When we mentioned shopping for house Master Sergeant mentioned wanting to speak to the monitor together before getting too far in the process. The problem is that the monitor won't be available for an in-person conversation for another two weeks.

Really trying to avoid pissing master sergeant off again or any further at all. Are there any rules against entering escrow before talking to a monitor? We know that we can pull out at any time but we don't want to put extra stress on the situation that is unneeded.

Edit: the plan is to live long-term in the area whether we stay in the Marine corps or not. I have about a year and four months left on the current contract and have only been in my current location for about 7 months. I was told I should be set here for the next 2 to 3 years. Thing is I'm not currently doing my assigned mos. I'm currently rocking a desk jockey job but last time my sergeant mentioned orders there was no mention of leaving the immediate area just maybe a different local station.
