It's not my friend; it's me.
I just got a promotion at work, which would put me on pace to make as much as I would starting in officer school, but unless I join the corporate arm of my company, my promotion is pretty much the cap of what I can achieve with my current company. And, like I said before, I just get restless with providing a service and going home. It doesn't challenge me, and it doesn't really feel like I'm making a difference.
KCtotheSB, what was the family atmosphere like? I know there are implicit risks with joining the military as a married man, but I've heard the Air Force allows you to maintain something that at least resembles a family life. Are you an officer? Would you dissuade someone who has no prior military experience from joining as an officer?
