I served in the Navy for 6 years as an air traffic controller. I quickly found out that that wasn’t the job for me, I wanted to be more hands on. ATC was and is undermanned in the Navy so I wasn’t able to change rates. When my contract was up I was accepted both by the Air Force and Army for inter-service transfers. Navy wouldn’t sign the transfer. Once I discharged I took work with the government as a contractor for a few years before Covid hit and I left because I wouldn’t get the vaccine. It’s been about a year and a half of wandering since then, working jobs I come to hate because I don’t find much purpose like I did in the military. Pictures like this remind me of what I see in the mirror. Everything happens for a reason because I’d be getting my ass kicked out of the military for not getting vaccinated anyway. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
