I know this thread hasnt had activity in a while but a lot of the people who responded are still around and I'm back to square one...well, negative square one if that's possible.
Teufel and BravoOne: Thank you very much for your input, I definitely appreciate it.
Due to tattoo regs my options are now limited to only Marine Corps routes.
I'm still looking into a few options. The main reason this is a big decision is I will pretty much be finishing all of the years I have in the field I LAT move to (in 8+ and shooting for 20+).
I still have some research to do and hard decisions to make.
Thanks again gents.
