It is a shame that these guys and gals have to start from "scratch" just to get a job much less "certified". I've met a couple of Army medics who could run "circles" around tenured Paramedics. They've seen more and done more than many of those overweight and unhappy Medics/Basics that you mention.

I completely understand, and maybe I should do a better explanation of what I was thinking. The majority of military folks that would get out, or would be forced out, still make a better living than some of these good Americans.
And I agree with what you said about their abilities. The next thing will be PTSD, and most of these new jobs will be in the "High Crime Areas". Then there are medical protocols that will need to be followed, even if the individual could save the life based on past experience.
