Anecdotally, I've been in the Army close to 10 years now and I cannot recall the last time I heard yelling in a non-jovial or non-combat manner. I've also had multiple experiences where people were stunned after I how I reacted in difficult circumstances. I can definitely see how certain employers would value these traits.

- MRD85 8y agoI see people have downvoted your comment but I sort of agree with the sentiment. I grew up in a rural town to working-class parents who hated me spending time on computers and wanted me to get a trade. I'm now 33 and halfway to my CS degree that I should have finished 12 years ago. The Army has been good to me but it's not the life I should have lived. Even growing up rurally was hard. I was a very intellectual child and rural areas aren't the best environment for that i.e. family that actively squashes your interest as opposed to encouraging it.
