Hungers a removed. I have a work history in wafer fabs and almost had to take a job finishing missile casings in a clean room cuz the experience was transferrable. Fortunately I found something else, but sometimes a job is a job.

So admittedly, during my entire onboarding process they mostly focused on the ability to get an education paid for through the company. You only need to stay an extra amount of time if you go that route or something similar. Buuuuuut.

When you look at people who have been there more than the 2-3 year mark. There are a lot of people there who genuinely feel like it's the closest they can be to helping the "war fighter come home safely". We had many meetings and slogans involving this. They are so fanatical, I actually almost got fired once for tilting a framed photo of a soldier once in a hallway. Anyone that is salary either is waiting to get a better job/pay or genuinely loves the military industrial complex. Also they tend to hire veterans a lot. They will adjust job requirements for veterans. Know a vet with a FORESTRY degree that ended up in engineering. The military experience is usually a substitute for formal education, its listed on a lot of the job position postings. This kinda helps reinforce the amount of pro military people who hang around.

Hope this helps give insight and makes sense.
