Choose a different MOS.

Stick with it. You could be retired by now.

I stayed in the Navy for 23 years! I greatly enjoyed my career in the Navy and enjoyed it very much. Saw a lot of this world, I had a lot of fun, I would tell myself "don't screw up a good career" Stay the course is a term I used on the bridge as an OOD all the time, and I would tell my self the same thing if given the chance.

Yep, buy Big Tech and Big Pharma stocks and get your degree while you're still in the service. And don't give up on being a fighter jock LOL.

Skip 2020.

It ok to love and believe in yourself..don't try to keep up with the joneses. Stay in and do your 20...

I would had never left Okinawa until my EAS was up.Spent 3.3 yrs on an unaccompanied tour there as the Command Staff was just outstanding.I was worried my Col. would have talked me into reenlisting and I wanted to start a new career.Was blessed with an Strong father figure of a Gunny watching over me. Semper Fi

When asked to reenlist for a 6 year term do it. And dump that girlfriend who convinced me to not re up. She is all wrong for you.

Ranking CW4 (in the Army) asked me to apply for warrant officer, I declined. Looking back, how stupid I was. I retired as a SFC.

Don't go nuke, go sub nav ET.
