I delayed by 2 years. I'm now looking at this fall. Should be pulling the trigger to submit request this month. All ADSCs and any Codes are clean (did an eligibility check this week).
What I've learned is network, network, network; take care of medical issues early and talk to plenty of people who have gone through the process.
But most importantly, communicate with your family about it. They are going to have to deal with the change to. My wife was quite uneasy about it (a number of other things going on this year), but we've gotten through the other hurdles and now it's more of a logistical and educational issue.
There is a "militaryFIRE" FB group that is useful to follow. Some good nuggets of info.
Anyway, good luck with your transition.
