I don't think I would handle it that well if I got called up and had to leave a child at home for who knows how long. That would be a risk or sacrifice I would have to take. I have only been deployed at few times that I was not given an option as to whether I was going or not. Never know when we will be called. A lot of times, I feel like I am just burnt out and don't want to do it anymore. On the other side, since I have so many years in should I tough it out and get the pension and insurance when I am older. I don't know what to do. It is a very tough decision to make. My husband is not military.

So, do you get pension at 12 years? And by the time you have the baby, is it correct you would only have about 6 more months of service? Think about that carefully!
I wish you the best of luck with your decision
