I've given this thread the ghost award so that all the comments are anonymous. Got a confession? Have beef with someone? Just want to rant? Share it here.
EDIT: Well apparently you can see who gave an award. So I'm not anonymous, but everyone else still is.

Electrical engineer for a defense corp. That's what I do now that I'm in the NG.

Why didn't you pursue an officer career track? I guess you'd sit in an office most of the time anyway

I wanted to go SF, and SF officers typically get no more than a deployment or two before they're relegated to staff duties or assignments like defense attaches. You're also way less likely to actually get to kick in doors because your entire role is basically serving as a point of contact between command and the ODA. It's the senior team sergeant doing most of the operational planning and control in combat.

Is there a reason why youβd recommend against someone joining?

If you have a low tolerance for bullshit or find it difficult to listen to the commands of people that are often blatant morons, I wouldn't recommend the military. That said there's a huge variety of experiences depending on what you do. A water treatment specialist or an aircraft maintainer is going to have a very different day to day life than I did.
