I sought out my old division at my company to see if they had anything open and they had my old position available. 

They offered it to me and I had to think long and hard about it, because I really like the work in Biometrics that I'm doing, but there's nothing promotion-wise for me on that project. 

This position isn't a promotion either, but at least it's a stateside job.  And, hopefully, they'll see the good work that I do and promote me.

Eventually.

So... yay.  I'll be starting home definitely on the 1st of October.  I have to take the MilAir stuff through Kuwait, so who knows how long it'll take to get me out of there.   Ah, the joys and uncertainties of military travel.
