Been in 12 years. I know I know. “You’re only 8 years away, you’re so close”. Well, I’m tired of active duty and have been for a while. I’m/We’re ready to settle down and have our children grow and go through school with the same friends/people, while also being close to their cousins and our family.

Any info/encouragement for someone in this situation? I can get out or palace front and make $90K+ in the civilian sector right off the bat (I’ve applied and been selected for different jobs but had to turn down).

It still scares/worries me though since the AF is all I’ve known since graduating high school.

Will I have the same active duty perks? No. But, I will have my sanity and mental health. Just my point of view🤙
