I hate to say it, but to get hired in the Army, you need to be specialized in a skill the Army needs and be able to pass the physical. All of the impressive credentials in the world won’t get someone in if they don’t have a needed skill set.
I hear what you’re saying, but I’ve also given job interviews to tons of officers about to or recently retired with 20 (i.e., in their early 40s) and there is literally no job that those guys could possibly have done that this guy could not have learned in six months and done standing on his head. At a certain point, talent is talent.
I worked with one guy who had originally joined the military during the Cuban Missile Crisis, retired and went into private industry and was getting ready to retire again when he got recalled. They made him a Warrant Officer.
He told them they’d better have a supply of extra large uniforms because he wasn’t going to do any damn PT.
He has since retired a final time.
