NEVER Going Back

I am currently transitioning out of the Military. My commander requires me to come into the office once a month to make sure I'm alive. I went back last Thursday, and I feel like I caught the last Helicopter out of Saigon.

As soon as I left, the office fell into deep disorganization. We have lost a large portion of our staff. Headquarters is constantly in conflict with the regional offices. Policies and objectives are being updated daily. Everyone I worked with was strung out.

My point is I'm never going back to an office. If the Military is subject to that kind of turmoil, and government jobs are supposed to be "safe and secure," then I figure there is no security in working for anyone but me. I would hate to be at the mercy of some corporate executive who doesn't know me and doesn't care about me. I know I'd do better working for myself.

In the words of Captain America, "The safest hands are still our own."
