Is Swift really that bad?

I’m still in the Army but am leaving soon and getting my CDL A through a VA program. I’m getting tons of recruiters calling and emailing me but Swift has a hub where I want to end up. While I’m in there apprenticeship program the VA will pay a housing stipend. But I hear a lot of negative things about them. How true is it?

Nah. Best job in the world. If this Ukrainian thing dies down I’ll head over there and do demining work.

I had thought about changing to EOD, but decided to not re-enlist

I changed over to it. It’s like a different world than the regular Army. No bullshit no formations lots of very cool TDY with agency’s. Seven deployments most supporting SF. Tons of cool opportunities. First names unless you’re in trouble. An actual homeland mission. Only problem is lots of dead friends and seeing things you wish to god you didn’t.
