If I had to do it all over again, knowing what I know now and having spoken on this very subject with friends still in the military, I would look at the various ratings (MOS) and see which one would translate into a job I would like doing once I got out. For example, sniper training does not translate very well to civilian life in my opinion, unless you want to be in some sort of protective service or the police; However cryptography, or something in computers would most likely serve to land you a good job, should you decide the military is not for you. Think "What things translate well into the civilian sector?". Thats just my $.02, take it for what its worth
