Well, the army did 3 things for me. 1: It gave me alot of training I'll need for combat, and survival. 2: It got me back in shape. 3: It destroyed any chance of getting a descent job. Yea, ya see, I'm in the reserve, which means I can't work one week a month, and I'll be going out of country next fall; no big rite? Well apparently not to employers. I lost my job in may, and I only had that job because it was a friend. I have been trying for 6 months to find a new job, but every time an employer sees RESERVE, it's an automatic DENIED. I know this because I have talked to the managers at 4 companies, and they all said the same thing. I may be a good worker, and I may be more than qualified for the job, but being unavailable any time, as a big problem. Now I can't pay my rent, I can't take care of anything. I'm just luck that my gf's mom likes me, and let me stay with them. All I have to do is take care of the house, and take care of what bills and expenses I can with what ever work I can find. It's not fun being 25 and unemployed. It's one of the worst feelings I've ever had to deal with. So, next time you see a soldier, show some brotherly love, cause he/she may be in the same situation. Oh yea, and if ya happen to know anyone hiring around Jackson, lemme know.
