Odds of Hanging On

The average length of service for enlisted Navy personnel is fifteen years. You can serve longer if you choose. Or you may not have a choice…you may die in combat or sustain injuries that'll force an early retirement. However, if you do have a choice, you may find yourself choosing to stay just because when you try to go back to civilian life, you just feel like…well, a seal out of water.
