If you can depart your employment for 3 months, are you really needed there?
I do respect you backup plan, at least you have your plans and allow your employer to say AMF!
If I was between jobs I would probably take a 2-3 month tour my self.

No problem MrDK, it’s a reasonable question...
Where I work (at the moment!) taking this amount of time off is not that unusual. A guy I work with got married a few months back and took 3 months off... My position in the company is a (fairly) junior one, and if I walked out tomorrow it would be no great loss to the company, apart from the inconvenience of training up another member of staff to do what I do... In fact if any member of staff walked out it wouldn't be that great of an issue for the company.
In the last few years I have changed jobs several times. I work in IT (network support mainly) and there is always scope for moving jobs (at the moment anyway!!). I am also considering just doing contract work and possibly moving out of Ireland altogether.
On top of this... I am single, no kids, no mortgage or any other significant debts… I am not really a very career orientated person and never was!
Have a good new year! We may bump into each other in LOS sometime...
