What advice would you give to active duty Service Members in all aspects of the military/transitioning?

I am retired nowadays, but I always have active duty Soldiers/Sailors to ask what would I do in their situation. I always tell them do the hard right over the easy wrong. To stay in the military and retire if possible. I respect all Veterans whom are leading the charge nowadays and the future Veterans to come. I always tell the ones getting out to make sure their medical records are up to date.
