Can I ask why you went into Armor in the first place? What are your duties within your job? Are you a driver or mechanically inclined? If you are a driver and enjoy doing that then I imagine it should be easy for you to obtain a truck license. There are some career paths in that field, especially working for cities or counties that pay well and offer a high degree of job security. If you will be settling in the LA area and interested in this line of work let me know.

i know someone who works in la city sanitation. pay is good, hours are better, and good job security. no college needed and anyone who is hard working and motivated can get into the mgt track. sometimes i think i went in the wrong field. i sit in an office for 10 hours a day and don't make what a mgr in la city sanitation does.

If you have the $$$ you can always open up your gym & be a personal trainer or somewhere along those lines.

Quick question: Do you think you can do 20 years in the Army? If so, you can get out at 38 with a nice pension and still be young enough to start a new career.

If going back to college is out of the question, I would highly encourage you to get some sort of specialized training and go for a career after your Army thing is over. For some examples, take a look at this ... Optical dispensing and pharmacy technician are just a couple of examples of kinds of jobs that can have decent pay without the need for having gone through a 4 year degree program after highschool.

Actually, I hear nursing is in huge demand which translates to great pay and jobs where ever you want to live.

So basically after 4 years in the Army and at the nothing...

A friend of mine who spent 10 years in the Army as medic, got out and could not do anything...he had to go back school and recently he god done with 4 year school and now finally at the age of 35 his doing something worthwhile

Until today he cannot get more then few hours of sleep at nights...because of all kinds of drugs they were giving him during the first war with Iraq...and now he hates everything about military, the government, etc


Either stay with Army or long years of school

Good luck
