Reason I didn't start a family until I left active duty:
It's one thing to choose to sacrifice in the service of our country if it's just you and/or your spouse. You can choose to put in the hours, to be deployed, to get a 365 TDY, etc.
It's another matter entirely to make that choice when it affects your kids, when they don't have a say in the matter.
I don't recommend it.
