Why do so many people think that you can only get a job after service if you go Air Force or Navy?

I think the other big myth is that so many military jobs will translate directly into the civilian sector (and easily).

It's a recruiting myth, probably.

You are right though. That is the ENTIRE point of the GI Bill. It was developed as part of a massive effort to convert a wartime workforce into a productive and skilled peacetime workforce.

The G.I Bill is great for a college education. You will qualify with service in any U.S. branch after 24 months active duty and an honorable discharge.

Getting a job after service is up to the person. Personally, I have never viewed one branch having an advantage over another.

I've never heard that.

I've seen people in every branch be successful (and unsuccesful) after military service.

Depends more on the person than the branch. A dud AF person is going to be a dud civilian.

I think its because the public think that only the AF and Navy have all the high tech MOS's. But we both know that the Army has all the cool jobs lol

Perhaps because now the econemy is in the slump and people even with a college degree 2 year, 4 year whatever, aren't finding jobs.

Where did you hear that? My brother got a job right out of the Army, he designed signal switches for a major transportation company.

The other service branches have great training too that will get you great jobs when you get out. Only the ignorant will believe your statement.

Do people really think that? How strange.

I know several people in my office who were in the Army, and one who was National Guard. I know that our HR department thinks highly of *any* military experience when they see it on a resume.

I dont think you cant get a job after army or marines, but i deffinitly think it looks more difficult, especially when you just enlist, with no college. thats why i would like to do ROTC but its very competative and dont know if i can make it. but i plan on doing army if i can. I have been having trouble thinking of stuff to do after the army though, but mostly lawforce is all i can think of
