Promotions are stable and he wouldnt be doing much of the BS tasks that get thrown around. Also it would look good on a resume and opens a door to continue his education with experience in that field if he wants to continue it. It would also walk him into a security clearance which is a big power throw in the civilian world.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 24 at 2015 12:17 PM2015-09-24T12:17:29-04:002015-09-24T12:17:29-04:00SSgt Marie Hynes Campbell8494093<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Combat engineering or suryorResponse by SSgt Marie Hynes Campbell made Sep 30 at 2023 5:41 PM2023-09-30T17:41:44-04:002023-09-30T17:41:44-04:00SSgt Marie Hynes Campbell8494095<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a geologist who served in the Marines and worked for the Feds.
