[QUOTE="SamIam71, post: 8218610, member: 658526"] Then if that is who you are, good for you. As for me, I have chose what I wanted to do with every change of branch I made. I have a year left to finish my second degree in environmental science, then I will go for my juris doctorate with a concentration in environmental law. Everything I have done in the military is worthless in the civilian world. 8 semester hours of military history, 27 semester hours of emergency medical, 3 upper level management, 6 in electronic labs and theory, and a slue of other worthless crap that amounts to nothing. I have nearly the hours needed for an associates from this time, but none apply to the fields of science I have chose to pursue. I will have over 180 semester hours by the time I finish this degree, as all my electives must be math, biology or physics. If I wanted to go be an ems/emt, it may work out fine, but I don't. I have not meant to insult you personally, but I look at the military and the experience in it objectively. The day you begin acap or start school, you will learn what it was all worth to the real world. I have met so few people that made a perfect fit for the service, that is why I won't just throw out "Join the Military" as a blanket answer to unemployment. Despite what you may think, I have enjoyed my time in, I seen a lot of places I never would have seen, and done things I never would have done. The hard stuff in the service is easy, it is the easy stuff that is hard. I hope you enjoy your time as much as I did, and get to leave healthy. [/QUOTE]
