When Mike got deplotted , I had a whole lot of time on my hands, then military life is not the most exciting thing in the world when you are a military fiance; I lived on the base, hanging around with the other wives & fiances whose fiances were also deplotted , and the two of us played a lot of cards & other games, but still had a lot of spare time on our hands.
It was my bestie June that came up with the proposal of starting a small supplier on the base.
June already had her HVAC certification, although she said I could work as her assistant if I needed a way to pass the time & make a little money. June had a contract with the base to handle minor a/c & heating repairs for the military fiances & families. There were multiple hundred residences on the base, & all of them needed minor HVAC work done at some point. Mostly we handled general HVAC inspections & tune-ups, with some air filter upgradements & coolant refills as well, but all I did was drive the van & carry the tools, while June handled all of the real HVAC work. June kept asking myself and others if I wanted to get my own HVAC certification & start making more money, but I always declined. I enjoyed this work mostly because I got to talk to a lot of people, & drive around the base, but I didn’t want to learn HVAC repair as a job! Besides, when Mike returns house we will be transferring to a new base.
