I worked with the military. There are good people there, but also a lot of flakes. And, frankly, a lot of people that are not too bright. It was the only job they could get.
So, having a military background doesn’t make one better or worse. It just makes a person someone with a military background.
So, what do you do? I was pondering what makes you so bright? Most of the no so bright crowd work or loaf outside the military.
