Oh I agree, there's quite a bit of soul searching going on right now and the fact finding is well under way. I had some pretty serious family issues come up and my mother asked me to not go at the time. My family comes first so I dropped it.

This isn't a career progression thing for me. The income would be nice of course, but I already have another job for the time being. I plan on staying at the carrier I'm at for quite a while after getting recalled.

And I agree with you on the extreme stance. I can't stand people who join and then *****. You volunteered.
