13. IIWY, I wouldn't consider the economy as a factor.
You'll find jobs, that's not important enough to worry about.

Do you like what the job will do for you, do you feel you are accomplishing long-term goals with the job, how does your family feel about this and do you care how the feel about this, and will this put you where you want to be in eight years? Or if not, does it put you closer than you'd be otherwise in eight years? And do you feel you are contributing to the world in a way you want to by keeping the job, even if you don't like the work or the company?

Those are the types of things I'd worry about. Yeah, consider the money, too, but also figure it's less than $10K a year, and while that's nothing to sneeze at, you might make more than that outside the military in a progressively more responsible job with another company.

Just my thoughts. Ignore as you see fit. :)
