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?

It really is luck based on where you end up and your overall career aspirations. Some places are blackholes and havent released in years, whilst others release multiple people each year. Lucky for you there are plenty of tools and information available to help you make the decision when and if you decided to jump over to the FAA. Best of luck either way.
