Military experience and employment.

>>1795730
It's good if you're a bottom of the rung type. I work as a storeman in Aus, driving forklifts and so forth, and my employer kind of made a fuss over how I was in the Navy. A lot of employers I've had have had the same attitude; people seem to be a little impressed by it. You and I both know that peace time militaries are basically welfare rides, but they don't. Plus I believe ex military, even peace time, have a different way of carrying themselves compared to civvies.A little more gravitas, dare I say it? People pick up on that shit. But yeah, I'd rather have a trade or a uni degree any day compared to 4 wasted years as a radar operator.

Employers are looking for people who show up on time, don't complain, don't miss days and just get the job done. Discipline is kinda stupid hard to find in the gen pop today. Vets are literally programed for it.

Depends. Just being a vet gets you:

-General points on your hiring application, particularly for federal jobs
-Access to the GI bill to go to college for four years
-A degree of respectability

Your job within the military may or may not get you:

-Secret/Top Secret clearance that remains current up to one year after you leave
-A skillset that qualifies you for an outside job, including technical certs
-Qualifications like a Merchant Marine license depending on what job you work

Basically it's up to you what you want to do. You can do something that doesn't translate well outside of the military like infantry and just take your hiring points and GI Bill, you can do something that preps you for a white collar job in the Federal Government or a private corporation like Intelligence, or you can do something that preps you for a blue collar trade like welding or motor pool. It's up to you.

Yes, and a lot of people I know hate to admit this

How does this relate if I want to move up in the company?

>like infantry
tfw infantry right now. I'm considering switching to a new occupation if nothing ramps up in the next year or 2, and possibly switching occupations because of the lack of technical skills.

People that served in the military are different than those that didn't.

Dude. Take your GI bill and go to college on it. When you get out of college you can do something federal at least.

If army maybe put in for ranger school or special forces because they get you clearances and SF has you learn languages.

Sorry, should've mentioned this is Canadian Army. But, I do know our SF does the language thing too (to an extent). But I've already got a degree (arts), so I was thinking of either picking up a trade or go back to school for something else.

Ah. I don't know the Canadian system too well, just the US. Sorry aboot that.
