Yeah, the successful ex-military people I know did a few years, got their college paid for, got a clearance, and then hopped to private sector DoD contractors, law enforcement, etc. There's really no reason to stick around and deal with the bullshit when the military effectively pays you to train for a better job.

Honestly, I question whether that is going to hold true in the next few years. When I was in a lot of units, even ranger battalions and special forces groups were getting tips from private security companies and then incorporating it into their training. Couldn't find the exact technique I was looking for to exemplify this, but I know a lot of them have been teaching a technique similar to this only with rifles, which is a technique I personally love and practice a lot (thinking they were calling it "unseat reseat" at the time). This kind of has me wondering if private security companies won't be the go to places for quality training in the future.

Edit:
As for the video and technique I was talking about, the only big difference is that they were teaching something similar to C grip for the non-firing hand which is something I personally find uncomfortable and awkward even in a normal standing shooting posture.

None of the people I know were in elite combat arms units or anything, it was more your average air force guy going to work for an airline, IT guy going to work for an IT contractor, etc. They were reasonably qualified thanks to college paid for by the GI bill or ROTC, had a few years of job history and good references thanks to the military, and of course being a veteran doesn't hurt when getting your foot in the door. I have no idea what the market is like for former special forces and such though, that sounds like a pretty specialized industry.
