Ha, I am really kind of feeling that way!
Hard to answer because everyone’s situation and goals are different. But all things equal I would say:
If you still enjoy it - Stay in as long as possible.
If another career or passion is calling to you and you have 15-19 years in - hit your 20 and retire.
In reality, you should when you are ready. If you have a skill set or experience to move into the civilian sector go for it. Collect the pension and disability and a normal paycheck from the civilian employer. DM me
If you want to chat offline or want some experiences from me… I am a combat vet who left service and now work in the corporate sector.
Thank you! I would really like to move into the civilian sector, but I am nervous that I won't be able to find a great job. It's encouraging to hear that you were able to.
The decision to retire from the military is a personal one that depends on a number of factors, including your career goals, financial situation, and personal circumstances. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether and when to retire from the military:
Eligibility: The military has specific rules regarding retirement eligibility, including minimum time-in-service requirements. Check with your branch of service to determine when you are eligible for retirement.
Financial considerations: Retirement from the military comes with certain financial benefits, including a pension and access to healthcare. Consider your financial goals and needs, including any other sources of income or savings, when deciding whether and when to retire.
Career goals: If you have a specific career goal in mind that requires you to leave the military, such as pursuing a civilian career or starting your own business, retirement from the military may be the best option for you.
Personal circumstances: Personal circumstances such as family obligations or health issues may also play a role in your decision to retire from the military.

It's important to start planning for retirement early and to seek advice from financial and career counselors, as well as from other veterans who have already made the transition to civilian life.
