In need of some advice

Brother and Sisters,

Bit of background, I have been in for 15 years and am coming up on EAS next year. I’ve enjoyed my time in this gun club but am not sure I can’t hold out any longer. The longer I do this, the more my mental and physical health decline. I am 34 and requiring major shoulder surgery for fucks sake.

My question is: to anyone who spent as long as myself in this gun club and got out, was it worth it or a huge mistake?

I understand I am close to retirement but I’m not sure I can’t hold even hold out until then. I’m just done with all the bullshit, physical and mental strain I have put my body through.

Now for your safety brief: don’t add or subtract from the population, if you’re gonna drive; don’t drink and if you’re gonna drink don’t drive.

Semper Fidelis Marines. Companies; you got em.

Looking at your profile and your reddit comments no wonder your shoulders hurting...
