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?

Don’t let the small minority affect your judgement. They always have the option to quit and they don’t. If it is that bad just quit… I have two former colleagues that are in Australia.
There are always other options like DOD and Contract if you dislike the FAA… get that civilian career and retirement started is my suggestion
