If I were you I would not panic, but I would also check into this stuff now so that you will be prepared to act immediately if the worst does happen.

This.

Prayers and thoughts to your and family - hoping you keep your job, but make sure you take advantage of the resources they hopefully provide. I had a similar feeling when i got my PTS (perform to serve) papers from the military. My career counselor screwed me and they told me I cant re-enlist, about 3 months before I was about to get out. Luckily I had my Associates degree to kind of fall back on. But it's still CRAZY to think how you're gong to feed your family after you get that confirmation... Thankfully that was plenty of resources for me to take full advantage of to make the transition fairly easy.

Hopefully things turn out ok for you.
