I'm 39, have a BA in Elm Ed, and 8 years of active duty time. I have several people trying to convince me to go G2G. Thoughts?

I made the jump last fall, just before I turned 35. I'm happy with my choice, although there are many days I wish I was an NCO again (payday isn't one of those days). Not sure if the age will be an issue or not. I direct commissioned so I was able to bypass a lot of the normal commissioning red tape.

A lot of NCO's will respect a 2LT with enlisted experience a lot more than a kid straight out of college.

When I got commissioned, I didn't have any pins from my enlisted time, so it didn't show....
