Opinions on quitting corrections to go to the military and coming back to work in law enforcement?
For some context, I’m 19 and I just finished my corrections FTO training. As my contract states I must stay for 2 years, so I’ll be done serving my time by the time I’m 21. I’m currently making about 70k. Should i join the army after that time or do you guys think i would just be wasting my time and losing money? I’ve wanted to join the military for a while now. Im wondering if there is anyone else in a similar situation where they started in corrections/law enforcement, went to the military full time, and then came back and resumed corrections/law enforcement?
