Served with this dude when I first went in the Army. We deployed to Iraq in 03 for the invasion together. Truly the best squad Leader in our platoon. One of my favorite people on this earth. Tactically the best I’ve ever worked with, even if we were mech……..lol. Love ya my man!!
As a platoon leader and now a CPT about to ETS in 80 days, I always encouraged my dudes to work in the trades. I'm searching for a job in the BLM/ Forest service now. There are baselines you can fall back to (i was a mechanic for years before I was in) but the education/ long term stuff is very important!
So much real talk right here bro, nailed it. There's a lot of self squaring-away and introspection we have to do after service, some of it is just getting out in nature and hanging out with friends (new or old) that have similar experiences, and working on prioritizing what our goals are/ what we want in life, definitely.

Gonna send this over to some of my vet friends and stuff I work with a bunch of vets, some of which who work for the local legion, which is a sorta veteran's association in Canada I think that although most of them have found their way, I think this would still help them talk newer vets on the transition On another topic; as a civvie going in, any tips on learning how to live that lifestyle? Learning sorta how to take it day by day and stick through those years of service and whatnot
I’m not sure what’s going on in the military today but serving is actually pretty damn easy. They tell you when and where you need to be somewhere every single day. You make amazing friends and it’s a good job. It will suck at first only because you’re the new guy but after you get past that then it’s great.
@@Asymmetrical.athlete_ Thanks for the pointers sir! I've been waiting and training like hell for the infantry while the Canadian army takes their sweet time processing my paperwork (almost 2 years since I re opened my application)

Trades are definitely not for everyone, they need to find a passion or something they really enjoy doing and go for it.

Lots of stuff that you THINK you have squared away…but is usually never squared away
