Since I consider you all family...

But that's fucked up because that could be a life or death situation, and if something bad were to happen, I wouldn't want that weighing on my conscious, so that shows what kind of people they are

The reason it would bother me is only one. When ur not LIKED by the guys... backup always takes longer. Dont get me wrong... im used to working solo and I hardly ever call for back up... but then there is always that one time in the future...

If this were to happen because you're a supervisor, then you get to put a boot in someone's ass.

Absolutely... if it could be proven it would mean termination for them. And there is no guarantee I would be hated... but odds are good, as I only like things done RIGHT.

I say you go for it man. It was the same thing in the military. When you are E4 and below you're one of the guys. The second you become a NCO you are looked at completely differently because you are now leadership. It takes a bit of getting use to for both you and your subordinates, but they will get over it and realize that you are just doing your job. The friendship will come back after the awkward phase is over it just takes a bit of adjusting. Frankly if they cant treat you the same and respect your position they probably weren't that great of a buddy to begin with.

It's a freaking double-edged sword but I've always seen it as, "What works best for me and my family" and "is the headache worth the pay raise."

You know the drawbacks and you also know that the guys you work with will be applying as well. If it's ok with them to supervise you, it should be in them to see you supervise them.

Good luck.

What branch were you in? This was exactly what I had to go through when putting on SSgt.

I didn't ready everything above because frankly, I'm at the end of a 15+ hour day and freaking wiped. That said......

Larry, ask yourself this. Do you want one of the other guys able to put his thumb down on you, or do you want to be the one putting the thumb down if necessary. Asked differently, do you trust EVERYONE you work with to be a capable supervisor, or do you feel that you'd be the best fit? If you don't trust absolutely everyone, then you've GOT to put your name into the hat simply because these things have a way of getting the worst possible person into a position of authority.
