Should I separate from the military?

Asked by Kokoro (1424points) September 11th, 2011

I have been in the military for almost four years, and I was going to re-enlist for another four. However, just now I have been second guessing myself. My true love is photography and music, and I am kind of wanting to separate.

I am afraid of how it will be. I will have to deal with bills, health care, living expenses, etc everything the military has taken cared of for me. I just hate my job. It’s easy, but it’s a lot of paperwork and lately has been draining me mentally.

The question is, should I go and pursue what I want to do and be at risk of living uncomfortable or do another four years and save money, do more school, etc. Or I could join the Air National Guard or Reserves.

It’s been eating at me because I have to decide soon.
