Good News....Bad News....Dilemma

Congrats on the new baby! I think you have received a lot of good advice here, and there are pros and cons to both choices.

I would offer up that if your wife can spare you now then I would go now. Kids are nice and cute and cuddly when they are born, and it is important to bond with them as soon as you can. But, when they start walking and talking is really when they need you more -- that is the time that their values and personalities can be shaped by the parents and that is when you need to be there for your children.

Best of luck to you and thank you ever so much for your service!
