This is a lot of the reasoning. I left the army in 1997 after 17 years. Should really have stayed on for my 22 to get the full pension, but was so disillusioned that I couldn't stay. My future was looking like Bosnia, Belfast, Basra and BATUS (UK training area in Canada - nothing wrong with that though).
