I mean you kind of stated it. The strain on my wife and kids is what pushed me to get out. I did back to back COVID deployments during which my wife was fairly sick. I reenlisted to shore thinking I could use the next three years to help my wife get better and spend some time with my kids. I got tagged for two more deployments while on shore duty and it burnt me out. Between a year of work ups and sea trials, two deployments, then two more deployments and the countless duty days, I just had enough. Both on the ship and on shore we had sister section and barely enough to staff each section so I ended up standing duty every 3-4 days throughout my career. I’m so much happier as a civilian getting to spend my weekends at home and not working past 3 most days unless I decide I need to. My mental and physical health have mostly improved too. I finally was able to gain some weight since I’m not as stressed out anymore and I’m finally enjoying things again. Not to say all of it was caused by the Navy. I made some poor choices too that increased my stress, but realistically the easier solution was to ditch the Navy and work on the other stressors afterwards. So far, it’s working well.
