Same for the other jobs, I wouldn't even know where to start in civilian world if I wanted to be air traffic controller, in the military they bring you up from Joe recruit to a guy who can get out and get a job anywhere as a controller. Military does a lot, even if you're carrying guns and fighting in Iraq it's still an experience that can get you a job as a cop or something real easy when you come back. I believe there are probably some jobs in the military that are hardly transferrable to civilian world, but I think most of them are.

I was not really talking about any job skill learned from the military.
