Good for you for following your dreams.
I just recently separated from the Air Force and im in the National guard now I can understand where some people come from but no matter what the insurance is unbeatable even if you have to pay a little extra for dental and vision for your dependents it’s still a million times better than the 450 a month I have to pay now I miss active duty just for that reason. My gi bill helps offset the insurance cost but I would have rather kept that for myself. I think people are just too scared to join.
Yep great insurance 3 squares a day if you want them and a band of brothers who support one another.
Pure ignorance for most. They have blinders on with what the military is and can provide in regards to benefits. Saw it all the time as recruiter. You’d be surprised how many people are scared just to LEARN about it.
Probably because of ignorance. This field has one of the best benefits out there. I just can't comprehend why a lot are still asking for more or asking for something that's already existing.
Not necessarily a stigma. More like these people are not aware of the benefits. In your case, you should go back to school if becoming a civil engineer is your dream. Best of luck!
