Engloid ,
I suppose if you carpooled, you could say you're serving your country. But that's not what this thread is about, and anybody reading past the 1st couple posts knows it. Very few private sector jobs ask you to put your life on the line ( acknowledgements to LE ), or move your family time & time again. Or move you to a place you can't bring your family for extended periods. But even those jobs always have the option to say " I quit, I'm going home." Do that in the military, and there's a good chance you'll go to prison.
Does not matter what you might be cranking out at the job. Even if it's something the military really needs. Doing that vs actually serving in uniform, does not equate.
If your young enough, you should give it a shot. Most of us are very glad we did.
And nobody here is fishing for a pat on the back. We don't need one.
