I guess you'll have to make that decision for yourself. I spent over a year overseas. Before you say subtle brag, I have been in the "real world" now since about 2010 and have struggled. Going into an office everyday absolutely sucks. If you've had your kids, a good job lined up, and are ready for the boring life then go ahead and get out of it. I've been reached out to several times by military friends and am strongly considering going into contracting.
ETA: Good luck on your decision

Cryptic with shades of bragging
I chalk this up as an attention grab.

It's perfectly natural to feel guilty for "not being out there"
It happens to most veterans.
As with anything in life, Don't jump off the cliff if you are not 100% committed to diving in
If you have truly done what was spoken about here (survive 14 tours) then I would say it is high time for you to train the next generation. You have a WEALTH of knowledge that must be passed on.
I am truly sorry about your brother, may he find peace in God's arms.

Very true. My last enlistment was up only a few months before 9/11. When it happened I came within a whisper of going and joining back up. The main thing that stopped me was the fact my wife was only a couple months from giving birth to our first child. Looking back, I still feel pangs of guilt for not going back, despite the fact I'd already fought one war in 91.
But I also know I'm the end it was the right decision because had I rejoined I'd have missed most of my son growing up and possibly not even been around for us to have our daughter in 08.

Then there is your answer.
Sounds like you got blowed up before.
I got a buddy who is a retired marine. He keeps going back. Started with Blackwater and now works with who or whatever took their place. He's probably 40 now with two kids.
It's time for him to stop. He's yet to get a scratch. That would scare the shite out of me.

Get into Alaskan Dall Sheep and Mountain Goat hunting. You'll get the same intense adrenaline, you have the natural skills to excel at it, and it's less dangerous. Unless you consider the grizzlies, wolves, and falling down the side of a mountain. Then it's dangerous. At least you have a very low risk of return fire.

Sounds like a plot from a Stallone movie.
