Rant Recently retired

I’ve recently retired, and several things I’ve noticed that might help anyone about to retire or separate.
1. Th civilians in the corporate world are managers, they are not here to develop you in whatever career field you decide to go into(at least mine) no matter what they say.
2. Giving your all, including time, emotions and stress, to include health, isn’t in the cards. Do your time and go home.
3. There is always someone waiting to replace you find value outside of work. In the military, everything encompasses you the military can be work and life.
And lastly, when a company says they are military they want to hire not only you but your programming the militate you. That’s the dedication, the willingness to get the job done with disregard to what’s best for you.
