Also, if anyone wants to share their opinion on whether to get out or stay in I am all ears... My hours are primarily in the F/A-18.
MCFlyer,
Don't stay in the military for the money, you won't be happy. Don't get out of the military for the money, you won't be happy. See what I am getting at here? Money is not to be chased, it is to be made. Get out of the military if you don't want to be in the military anymore, PERIOD! If you are wanting a better lifestyle, be home more with the family, I commend you. You will have to make that decision on your own. In my short time of being off active duty, I have talked to buddies that wish they made the "other" choice. Give me a PM if you want more info, I would be glad to talk to you.
