I have about 9 months left in the navy and am still deciding whether I want to reenlist or get out…
Long story short, I have two kids, I already know I do not want to reenlist but i have searched for jobs through and through and nothing. At this point I feel like I have no choice. I’m currently working on my Bachelors in homeland security. Any advice???

**** I’m a Gunners mate E-5 been in for almost 5 years**** if that adds any context.

If you decide to leave the military, using your GI Bill could be a good option, it could provide you with income while you attend school to gain skills that you are excited to pursue. In my opinion following the path which you are more excited about tends to work well because when we feel enthusiastic about a specific career path we tend to be at our best. Other options could be military reserve which may provide medical insurance at low cost while attending school using GI Bill.
