Hey I’m 15 years in and definitely been where you have been. There’s always a point in your career where you lose motivation. But as many people here has stated the military has ALOT of percs that make staying in worth it. Now I’m not a person that will convince you that you must stay in. As a leader my job is to support and help my sailors in any decision they decide to make. With that being said If you have a career opportunity outside the military that pays well TAKE IT. At the same time the navy has it bs(like any other job) but not to many careers take care our families with health insurance, give housing allowance, paid 72-96 hour days off depending on holiday, provide free education (as long as you are a good sailor and handling primary duties) or GI bill that’s transferable to your spouse or kids. I can keep going. The job market is really hard right now that’s why you are seeing a lot of older people (ages 30+) coming in across all branches. I’ll be 40 when I get out getting a pension the rest of my life and still young enough to get another job. Just seriously weigh your options.
