I was too busy hiding behind a rucksack whiel in the military. After I retired in '99, I was too selling my skill set and making a lot of money overseas. Now, I'm retired for the second time..........all without a degree.
I know- my husband still get dirty, and has to get up and do PT most mornings. We don’t see our extended families very often, and they always marvel that he looks young for his age because he still has to be uber physical and stay in shape...
He wants to go overseas as a civilian and make some money. He has one more list to wait on this summer, and if isn’t on it, off we go.
Not to be rude, but alot-not all, but alot- of the degrees people get while in service are from diploma mills. Enlisted folks I am talking about- not the officers. He could buy a degree and have it placed in his file, but alot of the institutions that claim to get you a degree aren’t accredited.
I doubt my husband will ever have a degree, but if he can use what he has learned in the military to go overseas like you did, we will be good.
