happy to find another military family doing vlogmas with me. lol someone who looks like me, if you know what I mean 😂 new supporter btw. seeing you as a soldier is inspiring tbh. I'm going back and forth with joining. my husband is active duty not me... but idk man lol.

[@CandyC.]

I understand. I joined late at age 34 because i went back and forth. Look at my military playlist :) thank you for ur support. Do you like being a military spouse? I was one of those b4 too

[@MomsMoneyMindset]

OMG you have the cutest ad with code.whitehatjr.com and Santa talking to the elfs on how children don't want toys because they can make them on their own! LOL

[@MomsMoneyMindset]

Okay so I know you're talking about the new company, but can we talk about how flawless your skin is looking right now and how your eyebrows are on fleek!!!

[@CandyC.]

I appreciate that. I keep breaking out here and there though...I think its from wearing these dang masks.

I’m meeting with my recruiter today. I’m interested in being a 42A. My worry is civilian life once I leave the army. Even if I don’t choose to get a degree in HR, would I still get opportunities to work as an HR specialist in civilian life? Or is that a career field where I need a degree regardless of my military background?

[@CandyC.]

You will def get a good civillian job! Veterans preference is what they call it. Just make sure once you get to your 1st unit u apply for the apprenticeship. They give you a certificate aftwr 2years doing your job in HR saying that u have earned 6000 hrs of experience in that field! That will definitely help. Not all bases have that so just make sure you find out from the education center. Thats one of the main reasons i joined because having the military under your belt helps a lot!

[@kvrvs]

Oh wow I hope the transition from one unit to another goes well!! ❤️❤️💋

[@CandyC.]

I hope so too :) thank you

[@joalysrodriguez2530]

Do you enjoy your MOS? I signed for 42 A kinda nervous I hear mix things about it.

[@CandyC.]

Love it. Im actually getting a degree in HR. Why are you nervous?

[@joalysrodriguez2530]

@@CandyC. some people say they like it others say it’s really boring and I’m going to hate it because soldiers are going to come at me getting mad because of their paperwork

[@CandyC.]

Its not boring. Depends on the people you work with. You determine your happiness. There are always going to be debbie downers. If its wht you enjoy, you will like it. If you have a good supervisor, they will shut down those soldiers that get upset. I dont pay them any mind. A lot of things are out of our control anyway. You will be fine.

[@joalysrodriguez2530]

@@CandyC. thanks for the insight ! I leave for basic in 2 weeks !

[@keasiabrooks2403]

Are you in the field a lot? I’m a senior and considering 42a

[@CandyC.]

Nope 😊
