What would keep you going back to work?
I recently retired at a young age from both engineering management and military contracting.
ETA: Wasn't trying to piss anyone off on here. Just had way too much to drink and should have not brought this topic on here. Should have kept the issue to myself and put down the whiskey. I am not going overseas anymore and enjoy where I am. I wish you all well.

I haven't fought, but if I had kids, I'd probably stop testing fate.
If not, I'd be open.

It would depend on the nature of the offer.

When I think of what you do I think of a dude that looks like the biker from The Lincoln Lawyer who is contracted by the US govt to perform hits on govt targets deemed threats to national interests. I imagine you are on your land chopping wood and then a black heli lands and suits come out and you're all like, "I told you, boys. I'm done being your Angel of Death."
So I'm going to go ahead and say keep doing it because it sounds badass.

Like for contract security duty, you'd make bank!

all jokes aside, thanks for your service

Don't you have a wife and kids and a good job?
Shut it down man. You've paid your dues along with many others dues. Enjoy the dirt you fought for.
I would also like a beer.

Sabi, I look like zoolander Billy Zane with a battle beard.

First off, thanks for your years of service. Secondly, the only visits you should be making over seas should be to a beach with clear water and a cold beer. if you're feeling up for another trip then frick yea! But like others have said, you've earned your time to relax on the soil you've fought for. Thank you sir.

Tough call for you man. Sounds like you're tempted but have doubts. I say if your heart is in it then do it for you but if you have obligations at home then let the new generation of young men have a go.
Whatever you decide, Godspeed.
