Being in part time isn't worth the money. It costs money- in direct expenses, lost (real world) work time and lost (real world) opportunities.

Do you like being in? Then it's worth it. They even pay you something and if you keep deciding you like it then you'll see some retirement benefits. If you enjoy what you're actually doing and can accept the overall use of the military, stay in.

I loved everything I did, but wasn't going to keep going back to try and get blown up because we just had to keep invading people and all that. But that's why I always recommend extending for the shortest stint so you can review your priorities sooner: a lot can happen in two years, much less six.
