RRR, you're absolutely correct.....except for one small detail. I worked in the civilian world for over 30 year after my stint in the military. I had some pretty bad bosses as a civilian in very stressful jobs but the big difference was that as a civilian I could quit if I wanted to. Barring any "family" necessities, but even so I could still quit. Once you sign up in the military you can't walk in one day and say "I quit", well you could but you'll go through a court martial and serve some jail time not to mention a dishonorable discharge??
So I did the next best thing....when it came time to re-enlist I chose to go back home. I did my job to the best of my ability until the last day then I turned down all that money and walked away. I signed up (voluntarily), ate all the crap I could stomach then walked away.
Again, I agree with you, there are some pretty bad "civilian" jobs out there with some pretty bad (disgusting) bosses but the civilian company can't put you in jail and discredit your honor for deciding that you no longer want to work for them.
No offense taken buddy.....Respectfully,
Treblig
