I've noticed this thing where a lot of former military have this idea that places near military bases are nice. "Colorado Springs is nice! Fayetteville is nice! Jacksonville is nice!"

None of the above is true. gently caress military towns.

Monterey is nice

Honolulu's not bad either

I managed to have a good time in Korea but maybe that's because I was attached there for three months, civilian clothes every day, and the commander would sign a curfew pass for any weekend you cared to ask for one. Also I was in a pretty big city with the bars a five minute, $3 cab ride away

Basic training taught me that 99% of people around you are not even vaguely competent at anything at all, and they should not be trusted to do anything but gently caress you over.

This is the most important lesson though

Never listen to anyone in the military who tells you something is "good to put on a resume for when you get out." How would they know?

Unless something has changed recently, you can start ACAP a year out.

1 year is (supposed to be) the minimum but you can start it earlier than that, up to 18 months or something
