    Be on site military contractor

    Told I’ll be making infinitemoney.jpg

    Actually make slightlymorethangs.jpg but with no pension

    Tfw ptsd from analyzing combat footage

    Tfw actively and daily shunned as “not one of us, just a dirty filthy contractor”

    Tfw you can’t get another engineering job because your entire portfolio is classified

    Tfw when there is no mental health support or support groups available for aforementioned “just a dirty filthy contractor” reasons

    Decide to go back to college instead of killing self

    Check brand new school email

    “Hi, my name is Sgt Fuckface! Here at the national guard we’re looking for promising young graduates like you”

      The way you get around it is discussing what is possible in person. You write a few bullets about your skills but not tied to the contracting. Don’t be specific, it’s not needed.

      I don’t even put my military stuff on resumes anymore.

    I don’t know if trying to recruit 4channers is a bottom of the barrel scraping, or just a clear view of how they see every recruit.
