[QUOTE="nickf2005, post: 16298884, member: 136350"] I mentioned a buddy in a post before who enlisted right out of high school... He was not imaginary, but did do some security detail and then I think he served as a mechanic for a couple tours oversees. Giving a bit of a background of his perspective. I had a conversation with him when I was nearing graduation. It was 2009 and the market sucked, in general, but even worse for engineering and manufacturing. I had very few, if any, job prospects and I was 3 months from being thrown to the wolves. I mentioned to him that I was contemplating going the military route and possibly trying to become an officer. He had 0 positive things to say to me. His officers weren't in his circle so they were, essentially, a bunch of numnuts to him. He couldn't separate himself from his military self, and constructively give me advice on my bleak future. That's just one of my examples I have with him. I love the guy and he's "back to normal" now that he's been out 8 years or so, has a family, had a couple different civilian jobs, etc. The guy I talked to for 5 years while he was in was not the same lifelong friend that left after HS.
