[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 3691377, member: 27284"] If I had it to do all over again, I'd seriously think about joining the military and get trained in a career that would be in demand and pay well in the civilian market. Avionics, aircraft maintenance, computer skills, metal work, medical training, even medical school or pharmacy, etc. Use the GI Bill benefits to get an engineering degree, etc. Military has its drawbacks, some good points are a steady paycheck, decent income, benefits, medical care, etc. Get in, get out after 20 years with a retirement, go work another 15-20 years in the civilian market using a very marketable skill learned in the military. And no, don't go into the military to be a tank driver or grunt. They're necessary, of course, for our national security, but where are you going to get a civilian job driving tanks? [/QUOTE]
