Hello Chaos and welcome to the forum. 11 years army, that will put you in your early 30s. Time isn't on your side, but if it is your new goal then go for it.

I would think that you would have a very tough time starting from scratch. Just imagine a 20+ year old Caporal telling you how to wipe your nose.

Welcome their is a life for us all after the military why not explore that as you could be very disappointed I would have thought PMC work would have been more rewarding from lifestyle to wages.

That's great, now you have to prove to the cadre that you can take orders and that you can fit in with the rest of your squad who will be 'commis' and 'rag heads' including Iraqs, Afghans and anyone else who the US is at war with at the time. Hell, got dammit, there may even be some gooks, and I'll be darned -Africans.
You will have no rank and no-one will be particularly interested in what you have to say.
Can you hold up?

yes but look at what the spleen does. you might not be able to operate in some Environments. Imagine if you´re on a long patrol in the Jungle. lots of Bacteria or even Africa. However as i said i do not know what the doctors will say. Maybe you will be OK.
