For what it's worth, PM me and we can talk about that career choice. There are choices to be made, options to consider. It might be a great fit for you, might not, hard to say. Who is pres does NOT make all that much difference. I have been from Carter to Pres Bush(43,) and can say that essentially, who is president has modest influence.
Plenty of up side, some down side, many options.
In life, it's not where you are, it's who you are with. I have found that the folks I have worked with, in the Navy, Marines, etc, are pretty darned good folks.

Just to be nit picky! :blink:
