After serving over 11 years in the Army and deploying in support of the War on Terror four times, my time may have come to an end. During my last tour in Iraq I fell victim to a roadside bomb (IED) which took my left eye, left thumb, and took about half the use of my right hand. I will soon be facing my medical retirement board, and I am not sure what to do.
I know that if I choose to stay in my promotion potential will have dropped, and I probably wont be able to deploy again. My wife says that I have served enough, and it is time to start over. But at 31 years old, I am not sure that is a good move.
What does the forum think? Serious answers only please.
