Would I be a fool to get out of the military?

Not to be rude but why didn't you just stay in 4 more years so you could meet your 20 and retire?

Sorry for the late reply. I got out after 16 years because being in the Navy really isn't easy to deal with when you have a family. The deployments started getting longer and the fact that I was under water for most of them really did't sit well with me. I had actually missed my first and second born growing up through the toddler years and I didn't want that for my other 2 children. So now I'm out without a single regret, great job and collecting more in disability than I would have in retirement anyways...
