I was glad to get out of the Army, even though I had fun and learned a bunch of stuff. They even offered me a promotion and a ton of money (at the time) to re-up. But I didn't join, I was drafted. I wanted to go to college and get a job doing what I wanted to do, not what the Army wanted me to do.
Plus, being a veteran, I got paid to go to school. It got me a job in the Veteran's Office at community college, and got me a job in the Geology Office at University. And I got preference over non-veterans for a great Government job in a place where I wanted to work. Finding out there were twisty roads out here was just icing on the cake.
