Bro, if it means anything coming from me, then i would say as long as your kids are taken care of and you can still be a part of their lives, then go for it..If you don't, then you may spend the rest of your life regretting it..You know that in the Teams, or any special operations community, it tends to be a younger man's playground, so act now while you still have your youth..I know that if I could spin back the clock, I would have finished Medical School and then re-enlisted, but I didn't..Don't make the same mistake if it's really in your heart..
And before you post your BUDS class number here, remember that is easily accessible and would be a little more revealing of your name and personal information..If you get my drift..Good luck in whatever you do..
