[QUOTE="sosslow, post: 16321165, member: 108320"] I was an active duty E-7 in the Army, in for nearly 14 years when I hit my fork in the road. I got an acceptance to medical school while still active duty. I had to decide if I would apply for a military scholarship to pay for medical school and do a military residency, or get out and become a civilian. I can't tell you how many times I looked at the pro's and con's of each side. Ultimately, I chose the military scholarship because I didn't want my family (wife and 2 small kids) to suffer while I went and chased my dreams over the next decade. I also have a huge desire to be downrange saving lives. I tried not to look at the monetary side of it, but I would be lying if I said it didn't play a factor (I hope to retire as an O-4 with 24 years). The choice is yours to make. I had a buddy in a similar situation, and he got out and decided he could work at the VA if he wanted to put those years to good use. I had another co-worker get out at 17 years because he and his wife were tired of it, only to come back to active duty 2 years later because they both realized that was a dumb financial decision.
