You are right, all those years in the Infantry won't prep you for a civilian job.

So I'll ask, how many college courses have you taken in those 13 years? All those free services while you are in, are you taking advantage of them? The education centers are there, what are you doing to improve yourself?

What other MOS's have you looked in to? It might be cool to retire as an Infantryman, but it's really not practical. You've earned your badges, get the Army to train you in something useful from now until you retire
