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

Thank you LuhDoo, thedaye, and dcan for taking the time to respond and sending those wise words my way. This forum truly is a blessing full of selfless, caring people. After weighing the pros and cons and procrastinating far too long, I've decided to extend 12 months. Like you said LuhDoo, it was very difficult to convince my squadron commander to sign it given the force shaping. In the end MPF fought for me and basically said the commander can't disapprove it unless there is a very good reason (article 15).

With all of this uncertainty I've also applied to TESC this week and sent them my 6 transcripts, 281 credits... I'm pretty sure I'm still 7 or 8 courses away from any degree, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling on the eval and get locked into the current catalog. I'll be posting my plan on here soon enough

I also test for staff again next Thursday. That result could be a potential game changer with next year's decision...

I'll keep you posted, thanks again everyone!
