Engineers, the Marines and Paratroopers are tough and glamorous, but the things you learn as an engineer will keep you employed after you leave the service.

Answer 6

Son, it doesn't matter if your British or American one truth holds true no matter where you are. If you ain't Airborne, you ain't s h i t.

The word Airborne is an automatic hire for many jobs when you get out and the word engineer in the military means nothing more than construction worker.

Prepare yourself well and become the Queen of Battle, then go on to a nice life in law enforcement. Stay your 20 in each and have two retirements before anyone else you know can retire once.
