I got out with under 8 years and got a job working for the state supporting their network , PBX phone system, and computer systems and made over 70k a year with excellent benefits and defined benefit retirement until my back gave out and then I retired from there and now 2 surgeries later I'm working on my 3rd career. I don't regret it one bit. Whatever you do, don't sell out and take a job working for the competition down south (jobs like these are plentiful for guys like us) but it goes against our credo! Don't do it! SFC Orion Stirtz Fri, 07 Nov 2014 19:23:31 -0500 2014-11-07T19:23:31-05:00 2014-05-19T03:33:09-04:00
