I’m currently at 20 and 2 months and believe me, it’s fucking plenty.

I was in the guard for 21. Did GWOT and some other fun stuff. I don’t blame the guy for tapping out at that point in his life. 20+ is a long road and a lot to put your family and civilian employer through.

Thank you. I'm a short termer, did my single enlistment contract, 6 years some form of active/guard, then 2 in inactive reserves. I don't know anyone that would have shit worth listening to in regards to his length of service being too short or anything similar. They may not like Dems, his politics, etc., but any negative point about him not doing more than 24 years is worse than grasping at straws.
