Its sad to think that they can use the fact you were willing to serve your country as another way to screw you over. How much time do you have before you get out?

Less than 6 weeks! I am pretty excited. I have some job offers over in Iraq as a contractor, and while I am sick of that place, the money is too good. After my time over there, I plan on truck driving school and a company driver for a couple years to learn the business. Then, depending on how I like it, I will either get out or buy a truck of my own.

ACRANGER contact Bradley-Morris company about a career, you may be taking a deep pay cut going to truck driving school and then a mega carrier. This is just my opinion. I did 12 yrs Navy, went with Bradley-Morris, worked for Cummins for 3 yrs saved money and then went trucking. Its been up and down, but its a GREAT way to make a living.
