Meh, I don't know. I think they have a pretty awesome quality of life now. It's all relative, I suppose. I just don't understand the dudes who get out and come back and penis wag their civvie status like we're all doing our jobs not realizing anything else exists. I KNOW there are other opportunities out there. I weighed my options, and ultimately came to the path I'm on. I don't think I'l come back here once I'm not in anymore. There's a vets thread, too.

A lot of things about civilian life suck to. I find it kind of funny how much some guys rag on navy life but then rave about the GI bill. That's literally you reward for being in the service. You know what you would get equal time in almost any civilian job right out of high school? A loving pen with "good job <your name here>". Though the rants are amusing.

He'll learn.

They all do eventually.

IT reservist looking for security clearance and tri-care. Boy I sure do I hope I learn something besides how to fold a bed and jerk off "in secret" around 1000 teenage boys.

Anyways you guys getting out are cool. Be happy you at least accomplished something and you are now reaping the rewards. Also go smoke some weed or something.

Do you know if youre going to get assigned to an IT billet after graduation? None of the ITs at my NOSC are billeted as ITs. Ironically, a GM2 and a civilian GS-something are our IT support.

As a reservist I simply don't know. I'll be reporting to moffet airfield.

Put the dummy in an officers uniform and watch half the fleet time out due to deep moral convictions.

It's a cut of your nose to spite your face joke.


Sure thing dude but it's literally a crack at enlisted disliking officers so much they would rather fail a test involving moving a representation of their disdain than just move it.

Stable affordable insurance while preparing to job hop is it's major attraction for me. Employers are taking a huge poo poo on coverage just about everywhere in my market.

For comparison my full time job with united health for 4 people costs $450 with $50 doctor visits.

So yeah it's pretty decent.
