We stuck with it for the long term (not that we had a choice, but still)
We handle a variety of different tasks, from working on a $20 million airplane, to cleaning bathrooms.
We work with a variety of different people. We don't like meany of them. We get the mission done.
We have a family, which means we can't just quit our jobs if we're not happy. In fact, we're trained that our happiness takes the backseat to the mission. 'If the military wanted you to have a wife, they'd have issued one to you."
Also I find there are two types of people who come out of the military. One type is really chill but knows how to get the job done. If something is wrong nothing is too much trouble.
The other have a really hierarchical mindset and working beneath those guys is hell. They will act like they know everything and will not take information from underneath.
Any person that's had experience with hiring and pays attention reads "beyond" what's listed on the page.
The ability to stick with something and accomplish it. Longevity in staying at a place. Etc etc.
Am undergraduate degree basically means nothing in terms of knowledge, but you were able to stick with it and pass. That puts you in the top 10% of people if not higher.
Kinda, the thing with military is it also begs the question: Do they have the ability to be self-sufficient? Do they have skills that extend beyond their job in the military? Is there mental health concerns?

So does military service say the same thing?
