As a recent SNA select just starting this journey into the unknown called the "Navy", thank your for your service and also your insight. I read the 2014 retention study early on in my decision to join the navy and I'm not going to lie, it definitely raised some red flags and made me rethink my reasons for joining. The stress it can put on your personal life is a traded off for doing something most people will never experience or understand. However, there comes a time in life when that tradeoff may not seem worth it. Anyways, good luck with life outside the navy and keep us on AW posted on what you are up too!!
