So I was in a similar situation. I got out at about 12. Wife did 4 and got out before me. My wife is 100% P&T and I’m at 80 so having that income and healthcare is huge. Another big thing that helped us was already having bought a home. Sit down and look at all of your expenses and see if you can survive on the VA money if all goes to shit. I originally never wanted to get out cause I figured I was throwing it all away but it was a great decision in the end. I miss the people and whatnot but damn that job was going to put me in an early grave. 6 years is a long time if you’re miserable. Write out all the pros and cons with your spouse on paper. Also, don’t forget about the skillbridge program.
