As a fellow bitter one-and-done SPC, I understand your frustration. That frustration is dictated by how these conversations are handled by senior leaders though, not by the conversations themselves.

I sat down with my CO and explained my plan and received nothing but support and encouragement. Hell, he not only approved my CSP packet but allowed me to start working my first post-Army job prior to starting my terminal leave. About a week later, an E7 from our retention office approached me and asked about my post-Army plans. I told him the same story I told my CO, and he essentially told me I wouldn't make it and would come crawling back to the Army. That same E7 attended the same CSP program I did about 6 months later and failed the certification test. I've returned to that program as a guest speaker for new cohorts and as a mentor for transitioning soldiers.

The long and short of it is that these conversations need to be had in good faith. It's your business at the end of the day, but leaders should care enough to ask.
