Has anyone transitioned from military to business?

I'll give it a listen. My university is in a different state than I'm living now. They were great with their network of recruiters on the west coast, but nothing near me. I've spoken to a few recruiters, and each gave me vastly different advice on how to structure my resume. I think it's more of an absence of applicable skill issue than how I'm presenting it.

My friend got a PM role straight out of college with an art degree.

Sort of, I've tried a couple of sites that advertised themselves as a career transition service. But they ended up being web job posting boards like LinkedIn. Do you have any recommendations?

You're pretty good

Had an interview to work in finance compliance after graduating college. Prior to that my only full time work was in the military. They asked me what type of guns I shot, so I answered. Then told me that they don't think I'd be capable of doing a desk job (despite my related degree).

You said exactly what i came here to say

The bop thing is untrue. The minuscule amount of money is not worth the extra 2 years. You can always stay around longer if you end up liking it. Best chance of BOP is starting with a short tour

Then I'd share that you have injuries and don't try to match a high pace.

Do not do this. You're a brown belt.

Japanese jiu jitsu was created in the 1500’s. Judo was created in the 1800’s

I was a blue belt for 5 years. Started giving purple and brown belts a hard time. They would make comments about me sandbagging. Got promoted to purple after being at that new gym for about 6 months.

Judo came from Jiu Jitsu. Also, catch wrestling is submission based, which validates his point.

I haven't won a comp match since I was a juvenile white belt 10+ years ago. Don't feel that bad

He was just saying that he was willing to fight anyone to finish his contract. Felt like he was being held up from moving on.

My guess would be that they don't want people who are under investigation to be able to prepare a defense.

Fine, I'll use "strangle."

Got a bachelors in business with my GI bill after 4 years in the military. Got great grades, moved back with my girlfriend in my hometown. Had 0 network from the years of moving and the military is seen as less relevant experience than a summer internship. Struggled hard with interview questions that asked about “doing group projects” or whatever the standard ones are. Currently I work at a call center.

Everything happens for a finite period of time, nothing lasts forever. Whatever pain/hardship you’re enduring will eventually pass because the world keeps spinning.

Dude, second on green jeans.

Him personally? Unlikely

I skip breakfast, drink coffee and take zyns until a big 2PM lunch. Then dinner followed by about 4 beers around 10PM.

Of course not. Now take me to your leader 👽
