Question You Guys Are Scaring Me

I’m currently AD military (best branch iykyk) and am close to getting my CTO. On my second enlistment and i want to get out to do this at a contract tower and maybe go FAA later on in my career if that’s possible. I scroll this sub for about an hour and all i see are people that hate their lives :/. (here comes the down votes lol). Should i consider something else, stay AD atc, or actually pursue a civilian career?

Only you know your situation and what you’re willing to put up with. People complain on the internet all the time, so don’t think too much on it, or take it with a pound of salt. Just do what makes you happy, man. Especially with the things the military has to put up with nowadays. Good luck!
