Surprising he’s leaving the military. Don’t you get a pretty good military career advantage being a Medal of Honor winner?

after hearing about his aspirations, city officials asked a federal judge for permission to re-open its books for aspiring firefighters, the report said. The judge has indicated that he would not oppose the city’s efforts to do so.

The involvement of a federal judge in "the city's efforts" to accept a job application ought to be a fluorescent red flag to anyone with any sense. If he doesn't want to spend the rest of his adult life struggling to do his job amidst idiotic government-union carpola, maybe he should reconsider his career choice.

Things I do not understand about this article
1. How can FDNY go four years without taking applications?
2. What a federal judge has to do with anything?

Also, it would be interesting to hear an interview with Dakota Meyer about how he came to this decision. He is one of the few people in america at a point in his career where he can probably do anything he wants job-wise.

I know he has some qualms with the military, after all, the firefight that got him the CMOH was a Charlie Foxtrot due to Obama's ROE.

However, if he stayed in the military, he could write his own ticket. No one would mess with him. He'd be treated like an CW5 in the Army. I wish him luck in any of his endeavors. A true hero he is....and there are many more patriots like him. God Bless America, him, the Marines, FDNY, and all serving our country!

Suppose an MOH winner remained in the service and during his final enlistment period, wore the MOH all day, every day? Would his superiors have to salute him each and every time they met with or passed him?

Good luck to him. I would like to tell him that getting hired on a fire department (especially in a big city like New York where they test in the thousands) is a lot harder than getting into the military.
