It would have been worth it to stay in, without a doubt. Now, if you're under the new plan, where you don't get the retirement pay until you're in your 60's, you won't see the immediate benefit after putting in the extra years, but it will still be worth it in the end. I had people tell me all this when I was your age. Wish I'd listened to them.

AMEN! I may never forgive myself for getting out of the Army after 10 years. I had my reasons at the time but looking back now they all seems so childish and petty.
