From my understanding, it doesn't matter what you did in the Army, they'll get you an apprenticeship and a good job when your service is over.

Would love to see more of that kind of program. For a lot of guys, the skills they learn serving the country don't translate well into anything except law enforcement and maybe running a day care.

I agree, that is an excellent program.  You are correct, besides LEO, there aren't a ton of jobs requiring the skills of an infantryman.  Back to the Pipe Fitter's apprenticeship that your friend is involved with, perhaps some of those guys can get preferred selection on Trump's plan to move forward with both the Keystone and Dakota pipelines.
