I do marine stuff for a living, both military and commercial. I've always wanted to join the Navy because I know that I could be an extremely valuable asset as a project manager type guy working with contractors developing new products to keep us ahead of the rest of the world.
And then I sit in a meeting with the Navy and realize there's no way I could deal with those people daily. They could stand to learn a whole lot from some time in the civilian world before getting such high positions with such fat check books. The amount of money they strive to waste is amazing.
ETA: not to mention the very high odds of getting stuck managing a crew of barely functional alcoholics scrubbing the decks of some ancient piece of shite oiler in the Red Sea for 9 months at a time.

That isn't just limited to the Navy but to the military and every federal department as a whole. I've seen it with my own eyes and it's sickening.
