Default Re: Who Has Changed Careers?

I kind of changed careers. I left a particular community within the Navy and went into the regular fleet. I did it to spend more time with my family instead of being away 300+ days out of a year.

It was a financial hit at first because of all the speciality pay I lost (about $625/mo) but it was well worth it and since I've been working in my rate, I've advance very quickly which has made up for the loss of speciality pay.

Am I glad I did? ABSOLUTELY! My wife and kids are my greatest investment.
