I'm coming up on my second contract ending in a year and I'm on the fence about getting out or staying in. What were big factors for you to get out?

By dealing with vets on a daily basis and shortly becoming one, I will tell you it's time to go when you have lost the passion for the job and for being with Soldiers. As for me, I find it difficult to just keep up. My body doesn't do well with physical activities anymore. But whatever you decide, have a plan and a backup plan with another plan. Continue to do well and get all you can NOW. When it's time for you to go the writing will be on the wall.

When you find yourself contemplating. The most important thing to keep in mind Is if you don't have the sled drive to continue its time.

Stay in. Use your time to get educated. Transition to civilian life is difficult and not very rewarding for many Veterans.
