How the hell did I see this before you???  Or did you just not post it?

Sounds like some type of pre-arranged commitment, not something Josh is doing on his own.  The military pays these pro sports leagues for all the "honoring" they get before and during games.

 

It's marketing.

"Giving up a successful career to serve our country and enlist in the U.S. Army is incredibly admirable."

 

Maybe Allen is actually speaking to this guy's specific story and there'ssome unknown context, but this sounds weird by itself.

 

Serving in the military for a multiple tours is in itself a successfull career. The pay, experience, benefits and training you get is incredible.

Yea the USAA and VFWHQ twitter account is full of other players donating tickets to Vets and agreeing to meeting with them while golfing in a tournament the same day.

 

I should have known better.

You are right.

Every one loves a donkey to pin tail on.

Taking the tail off is no fun for donkey however.

SSGT Cory Geisler is a Bears fan.  You would think they could have paired him up with a Bills fan.

Well I'm sure the vet appreciates it. If I got to go to the Superbowl the last thing I would care about is if it was for marketing. But in my experience from the military I probably would have gotten my leave denied for some dumb reason.

100% chance I wouldn't have the career I have now without the military. But I missed the "incredible pay" portion in my enlistment.

Yeah I totally disagree with that post.  There's nothing great about an Army career unless you're doing what you grew up wanting to do, and even then there's no "incredible pay," lol. If you want the incredible pay you better be ready for 30 years and a commission and hope to make General before they push you out.

 

Other than that, the Army can be a great tool to get a great job, like you and me, but if you don't have a plan and just stay in enlisted, you're absolutely giving up a better career.
