Once you get out, you could get a job through your local IBEW. The military background would be a huge bonus. One of my business managers was in the Army. I also just say that because I am an apprentice in the IBEW too Edited May 18, 2020 by buno67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I could see the military ending up being my career and retirement is when I get out. It has its fair share of BS like in the corporate world, but the job security and compensation is so much better.

I honestly would do a career military. My brother did that,he was in the airborne and is in the psy ops division but now he does mostly paperwork. He spent years in Fallujah talking to and working with the locals. Hell, even come out and still join. Hell, you could retire from the military and the union and be making bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
