Me too. I was a heartbeat away from re-enlisting into a dream job in the CG. I would have been an E5 in an E6 billet as the OPS boss on a 110 ft boat out of Arcata, CA.
It was a dream job. #3 in command on a really active patrol boat, and lots of boat driving experience. I would've made Chief in a couple of years, easy.
Of course if I'd done that I'd probably have been a lifer, though the scary part of that is that I would only now be coming up on my retirement *this* year.
I'm not sure it would've been a bad choice.
We've done OK.... You've done well... I absolutely love my life, I love my husband and my horses, I wouldn't want Beth's life flying to Singapore even if I think it's awesome, but there's some years in between then and now that I could have spent flying... I didn't quit because I wasn't good at it... I lost the dream for fairly weak reasons.
