Still plenty of time to chase the legacy golden ring after that. And I'm thinking of holding off starting any FW training until in the job, simply because I believe my quality of training and condensed timeline would be more desirable. Or maybe I'll wait until my last few months to get the ME/C/I rating so that I walk out of this job one day and directly into time building on the PSA dime while on terminal leave (aka still getting a full paycheck).
Thank you for your service. Absolutely, I would get your full retirement. The opportunity in this industry won't even be close to peak by the time you separate. Lots of Army rotor present here, so you will be in good company.
