I am a 30 year old father of 3. I've never served in the Military but I have been giving it thought for some time now. I am torn between leaving my wife and kids to pursue a career as a QP to better our chances of success down the road. I'd like to believe getting a job in the private sector would be easier with credentials as a QP but I don't know that to be the case. Like most Americans, we've faced financial problems over the past several years, and the money that comes with deploying would give us a better chance in the future. If anyone on this website is a QP who joined after you started a family, I would appreciate your opinion about leaving your family, so I can understand the hardships you faced or the benefits you got from it. I will continue to search the website for relevant content to answer my questions.

Thank you for the website and your service.
