DM what branch were you in?
Canadian Army. I left as a Corporal, was just about to do the Infantry Section Commander's course so I could move up into MCpl, and I already had my MG specialist course under my belt. Also, two tours of Afghanistan.
I then realized that if I was going to go for MCpl, I'd have to extend my commitment for another three years and then I'd basically turn into a non-commissioned lifer which I did not want. It wasn't about the money because once you hit the service years already put in at Sgt and Warrant Officer levels, you're making more money than a lot of COs up until the Major rank.
I may re-enlist with my eng degree, but I would need to mull it over for a while before making the commitment.
