[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 2323589, member: 12570"] I got to see parts of the world that I never would have had it been on my own dime. My ex's Dad was a lifer so she moved all over the world. She was adamant that she did not want our kids to do the same. I would have been 41 when I retired. I would have had to start a second career. During the last 6 months to a year of my enlistment I sent out more resumes than I care to remember, hoping to parlay my business degree and military experience in to a solid career. I did not receive a single response. UPS was not even on my radar. I called a friend of mine who I had been stationed with here and he told me that UPS was hiring. At that time you had to apply through the local Job Services office. I did, was interviewed and hired. It didn't hurt that the DM at the time was also a vet. 11 months to a FT job and less than 2 years to go before I retire. I look at what my son is doing now and know in my heart that I had the qualifications to be doing the same. That's the part that upsets me. Not the money or the benefits. The fact that I use my back and not my brain. [/QUOTE]
