I've done the military and corporate. They're quite similar in many ways.

And in my experience, if you do what I recommended, you will make life-long friends during your career and even after (if both of you are still alive).

Additionally, you'll be able to turn even your 80/20 (the 20% of who take up 80% of your time) "problem children" into recognized leaders you can be proud of.

As a nice bonus, there will be someone around who understands you more than most.

Namaste, JaiChai
