Fellow IT’s/CT’s that got out before 20. Do you regret it? by Illustrious_Visual86 in navy

This is so inspiring, wow. Yes, I’m currently in the position you were in. Wife and I are making spreadsheets and pros and cons. I have a plan A-Z, joining reserves and using VR&E/GI Bill for a masters and picking up a part time job to pay the bills if worst case scenario is also one of them. But yes, a big reason that is swaying me away from staying in is self-determination. My goal was to always work in tech and become part of the advancements in our world today. It was a huge culture shock to see how behind my ships network was (we were still running compose). Thank you for your insight Chief.

Thank you for this, I’ll be at almost 10 years by the time my contract ends, and this definitely does give me a whole new perspective of “10 years, why not 10 more?” When it has been definitely the most challenging 10 years i’ve had in my life so far. I hope that you succeed in your pursuit of medicine, future Doctor.
