I am coming up on 7 years in the Navy, and its time for the big fork in the road, "should I stay or should I go?". My wife is currently pregnant with our first child which is due in Oct. Part of me wants to get out and go gov contracting, but the other side of me wants to finish my 13 and get my retirement pay/benefits. The upside to getting out is spending time with my wife and newborn (being there for the little moments). The downside to getting out is the unceartainty of job stability (thereby struggling to support the fam). Now the upside to staying in is the benefits for me and my fam, and retirement at an early age (41). The downside to staying in would be being away from my family 6 months at a time. So from looking at this situation which move is the right move? Advice is greatly appreciated. Side note, regardless of your view of Bush and the war please dont respond with negativity, you're entitled to your opinions that I fight for, but this is about me not Bush and the war.
