Regardless if you’re retired, I’m active duty Air Force and I appreciate your time in service and all you have done, sir. Yes, I use the term sir because you deserve that respect, best of luck moving forward .
Sir, America needs smart highly educated and humble people to run for Congress or the Senate. I am retired military myself, enlisted from Ft. Leavenworth, I know you have a hole in you, something deep inside and that calling is for you to hopefully run for office. Please consider that. There is an Air Force Officer in NE Texas, he is retired like you and he ran for office and won. The first thing he wanted to tell the people of America, was thank you to the NCOs for supporting him and making his career what is was. He is humble like you. For America's sake, please run here in Florida. Florida would love you. I look forward to hearing your response. Thank you.
@@MyGirlsPlusMe Things are not good in the world. According to the word of God in the KJV BIBLE Russia Vladimir Putin is the beast of Revelation and will nuke and destroy America very soon. Can you be called backup to active duty if this happens?
@@MyGirlsPlusMe Thank you, for your service! I’m a junior in high school right now, and I’m looking to join the service. So just to hear that your going to miss the United States Army. Basically tells me I’m making the right decision to join the military.
@@MyGirlsPlusMe That’s what I’ve heard. It’s different from person to person. But it does depend on how you act. If I have any questions I’ll let you know.
WADR, if you aren't planning out your post-retirement activities a year out, then you made a mistake. You figure out what's in demand, then you decide what you will position yourself for. I took leave and went to IT "bootcamps" to pick up civilian in-demand credentials.
Agree you need to start planning a year or more out. Set yourself up for a path that will lead to success. Whether it’s one of the multitude of transition hiring programs out there. It all depends on your goals and where you want to find yourself. I don’t recommend anyone just look at what is strictly in demand - if it’s not what they want to do the rest of their life. Many transitioning service members don’t even know what exists out there. These programs help with that. As long as a plan exists. Problem is most of us have no idea how to get a real job - and it’s not using job websites.
@@MyGirlsPlusMe I'm 20 years down the road you're on. In the late 90's, the average person retiring from military service would have 5+ jobs before settling down - there's a real culture shock plus an undercurrent of resentment (often not realized) by people you may work with. So yes, within just about any career field, you will find desirable positions and undesirable positions. IT unemployment is under 2%. Information assurance/cyber-security unemployment is effectively 0%. The average household income in the US in 2019 was $60k. The average non-manger pay in the field is $84k, Information assurance is $94k. OTOH, I have 2 sisters who retired as 05's, no spouse or kids, who are "getting by" on their pensions. and can't keep from complaining about it. Me, I earn just under $200k as a CIS professor. If you have any IT experience, you may wish to revisit some of your decisions. DoD Dir 8570/8140 has fueled demand for IT/IS professionals, and a security clearance simply puts you more in demand. Also, consider joining Infragard.
@@MyGirlsPlusMe This might be an awkward question but I heard serving in combat arms will likely result in serious hearing loss: especially branches like FA and AR. What do you think about that sir? I will be joining Army ROTC this fall and I just want to know for future branch selection.
@@seankim9143 Well, somewhat true. But every branch has its physical quirks. Wear ear plugs! I have hearing issues, but it's not from Artillery. Do what you think you'll love doing. You can't base a branch choice on possible long term health effects. If you do, something will always pop up and give you great concern.
Hey Colonel Harrelson, try wearing a mask during COVID to set a good example. I'm guessing that the Army should have given you some training in Infectious Disease. You're intelligent. Use those neurons.
BRAVO, SIR!
very good video. Thank you.

It’s a big decision Connor. Talk to lots of other people who’ve done it themselves. As they say.... experiences my differ, not all are the same.
