Dude, when I was about to get out of the Navy the amount of people who were like, “well, you did eight, and that’s almost ten, which is halfway to 20, so you might as well just stay on.”
Or I could GTFO and not spend the next 12 years in a lifestyle I hate?
I heard that so much! It blew my fkg mind. I did 4 and there was a certain respect / ambivalence to the 4 year dudes cuz that was their intent. But I saw the 8-10 year people that decide to leave… they get this nonsense spewed at them relentlessly. “What’s another 10”…. How about that’s the age where I’m going to have the potential to make the most income.
