>>76332353Tl;dr economy.
I worked at 3 different businesses that went under over my 20's, always climbing the ladder fast within 2 years to get rug pulled, then pandemic hit.
I don't have a means of course correcting ( in my mind) faster than the military.
I spent 8 months unemployed last year and although I had a great time I didn't make money. I'm happily married, awesome wife, but I can't (at my age) continue to not work 40 hours a week because hours fluctuate. I'm sually above 30 hours but I can't save money on that, just get by. Space force didn't exist when Marines were beating down my door. I figure space force/military would give me 4 years to save and learn a skill set that is not culinary. That's for letting me blog post, glowie anon.
