Are you talking going as an AD or RC soldier?

Sounds like extreme risk for a long shot to me.

I remember the exit interview from the first time, but not the second. I don't remember being told NTR because that would've crushed me. Is there any way I can check?

I'm 38. I know that's old, but I remember a 40 y/o guy making it. I'm still in relatively good shape for a 38 y/o American man, and I know what it takes physically to make it. I'm willing to do it. I'd do some extensive train-up before signing up to make sure my body is up to it. Plus I think what's in my heart and mind is more important than my body.

I'd get back into the NG unit I was in.

You're exactly right. It seems like extreme risk - hopefully you only think it's a long shot because of my age. My marraige is on the rocks anyway. My business can wait. Because of my age, it's now or never. And I don't like the idea of going through the rest of my life knowing that I'll continue regretting it every single day. The time I spent on the training team was the absolute best time of my life.

Thanks for your time and thoughts.
