I spent 12 yrs in the Army (SFC) and from my experience I'd do it all over again. It paid for my school and I have a great career. The Army will always be a part of me. Three deployments (2 Iraq) (1 the Ghan) memories that I'll never forget.
As far as private contract work, the $$$ is outstanding as you know. Not having arty, air support, and heavy infantry back up, is what would keep me from going the private route. However, you've managed to survive 14 tours so my hats off to you.

If you keep rolling the dice, your number will eventually come up. I'm sure you know that. So you have to base your decision with that in mind. Are you okay with it? Moreso, is your family okay with it?

Kids stopped me from deploying. Had I not had my daughter, I would have either died over there or would be there right now.

Family is not ok with it. At all.

Easy decision then.

Enjoy your family. Money is very temporary.

You got a bad feeling about it?

Open a gun shop, teach CHL classes.
Thanks for your service

I know. But I am honestly ashamed to say that I feel guilty not being over there.
I lost my brother a few years ago and saw it first hand.
he got hit in the torso and then the face. I will never forget it.

No amount of money get me to go back to the desert. None.
Only reason I would go back is if there was a group of people from my old squad that wanted to roll, I would do I for them, but thats it.

Damn man, i couldn't imagine the shite you've been through ...
However i do know one thing:
Your family doesn't want you to end up like your brother.
Better you be guilty than your family heartbroken.

Try getting into training people over here. Not that stressful, you make okay money, and you get to shoot all of the time

I say enjoy your family and the good life. You have earned it.

I imagine that line of work gets in a mans blood. You have to be missing the rush that comes with what you do. I'm sure life is pretty boring here in the states after doing that over there. Hard choice for you I bet

I took you as a ninja throwing star kind of guy.
Posted on 7/28/16 at 1:52 am to GeorgeTheGreek
My God I am not that guy, Bgwin

Trust me, i do not doubt your badassery.
In fact, I'm in awe of dudes like you. I could never do that stuff.
