While there is a lot to consider before going into the military, the team should not be one of them. You are a volunteer. Your responsibility, imo, is to help them with getting through the next few seasons without you. Great advice above should help that, especially the get more mentors advice. I think your team has been lucky to have a mentor with your experience and who cares so much about the team but this seems like yet another example of FIRST mirroring the work environment where sometimes key employees move on and others need to take over.
