longhuntr74 is a fine man who gives excellent advice. Read his post repeatedly and carefully, and then give your final decision the consideration it deserves, not only for yourself but for the good of the service.

All kidding and esprit de corps aside (not to mention good natured interservice rivalry), he said it best: being an officer (or in my own lowly case, a lowly NCO) in either branch is fine calling and one which is open to only a few of the finest men.

Keep us posted and rest assured that you will be in our prayers as is longhuntr74.
