You hit that one on the spot. Most the guys I've worked with haven't reenlisted and gotten hired within a year. Most of them with the FAA (all went to Centers) a few DoD and Contract stuff.

Look at it this way: The military takes care of their own. Yeah the pay's not the greatest, but just about everything is paid for. I make just over $25k a year. So, yeah...the FAA's $30k looks real nice to someone in my shoes! But me, I choose to stay in. So, don't worry about me taking a job with the FAA!
