It was a pleasure. The Corps thanked me twice a month. On the first and fifteenth of every month.

Navy. IT2 SW qualified 3-4 awards 2 deployments. one on a boat one to the middle east. I did my time for my crime in a very honorable fashion.

I never had the honor to serve. I and my family thank you all very much.

Thank you. I appreciate it. It’s definitely a hard thing to handle sometimes. Especially under water.

Is the military more for experience and wisdom? The pay is awful and not much of what you learn in the service when it comes to work, will be applicable to citizen life. Discipline maybe, but I'm not sure what else. Especially with special forces. I would have to make a career out of that. I thought about going into the service myself, but I want to go to med school.

I’m not sure about other military branches. I was in the navy on submarines which is considered special forces to some degree. I worked with electronics and mechanics. So I was able to gain a job in the world of data centers when I got out. I gained both wisdom and experience. It’s really all about what you desire to take away from the situation. The again, that’s life in general.
