You already have more brain cells and critical thinking than any servicemember you will encounter. So any decision you make will turn out well. Good luck.

Food for thought, consider the blue guard ie non-PSU cg reserves if you want to train but also do a real mission while drilling. If you are a reserve BM/MK instead of an ME you can still do all the boarding team LE quals but also general boat driving or fixing and thus fill in any reserve billet or orders anywhere in the country that has a small boat station. Whereas PSUs train but don't "do" anything since it is peacetime so you would still be larping.

Wat is your current job. Userra covers up to 5 years initial service period so another option is, you could do an entire enlistment or commissioned tour (t. did) to get all the trainings and travel itch out of your system while your job is protected. Especially if you see a path that doesn't exist in the reserves/NG.

>4. Should I abandon all of this and Larp instead
Rationally, yes, except you will paralyze yourself with what-if's so better to rip the bandaid off sooner. t. did and did
