Sure beats my job.
Hey, the Air Force is credibly reported to be hiring... or course, rescue is a bear to get into, and not everyone can be a pilot.
Not that you have to be in the military to be a good American or anything. But all the people in the service, in the good jobs and the crummy ones, were once on the outside looking in. It's not a bad way to spend a few years, but take care you don't get hooked!
