the military touts the great job experience you get, but if you need any kind of degree to do that work in the civilian world, your experience counts for zip.
my nephew was an army medic. he went into it thinking it was a great way to jumpstart his desired career as a surgical nurse. he served in iraq. but all the nursing programs he applied to insisted that he start at square one. iow, that he pay for classes in stuff he already well knew.

you cant even get a job as an emt with that army experience. this is being driven by for profit colleges, and the student loan vultures. it's disgusting.

cali just passed a bill addressing that, in no small part due to my brother's 8 year campaign to change this.
yes, my family is full of fighters.
