-Am about to age out of commissioning. It’s one or the other
-NG member, 11 month deployment w tax advantages/hazard pay etc is 2x my civilian salary
-want to do 20 (or until my body gives out), currently on 6. In the long run, the O-side pay beats the quick hit of a deployment, but that doesn’t take into effect eg compounding.
-could live as an E, but kinda think it’s cooler as an O
-parents are old, every day feels much more “real” now than it did when they (and I) was younger. 11 months is a long time when your dad is 70
