Went back in the AF until retiring, passing on several hiring chances due to the risks. Now, at a great corporate gig at 59.
Deal with it, you can always make excuses, but at some point you have to look in the mirror.

You're calling out BS and then not even discussing/ignoring the cost of getting trained. That's the point I was trying to make a few posts ago, relative to ROI. SkyHigh is spot on with his assessment of many young people today; it's simply a hard investment to justify.
Was never trying to misrepresent your career. I can appreciate you've been through a lot and congratulations on your corporate job.
