I've decided to just enlist...godspeed all!

Basically the only viable option was SWO, and I'm 30 and married.

As a currently enlisted application, don't. You are 30 years old and married. Commissioning is generally not something you can do until your first command, and is up to COs discretion once you do check onboard.

If you have the qualifications and the desire to commission, wait the extra few months and go that route. Enlisting first will only add potentially years to your timeline, and the quality of life and job is drastically different.

This is a good answer. Also if you're worried about home life and supporting your wife and kids- consider looking at your options to commission in the Coast Guard.
