Some people get pulled out and retrained, but most languish. So besides all the problems around how you've been trained and what you've been trained to do, there are limited rewards for doing these jobs well, so you're going to start getting pretty frustrated with the military itself as you keep doing this.

Then think on this: as independent contractors, after leaving the military, these folks are in demand and get paid well.
When you're done thinking on that, think about this: they're getting paid to do the same thing. Now who do you think their employers are?
