Agreed! I left the Air Force with 12 years of service, 4 SANS certs, certification as a federal law enforcement officer, and experience working against APTs. At the time I left, I was getting less than $80k in compensation (excluding healthcare, cause I don’t know how to account for that), and accepted the first job offered ($103k). Left that less than a year later for a job paying $140k plus bonuses, and now I’m in an even better spot 2 years later. The military can’t compete unless they change how they pay their service members.
