Thanks for all the support! I really was just ranting and fuming about it, but you fellas are a good bunch.
As to the comments about staying in - I would have stayed, but I joined for nuclear and they weren't going to let me stay nuclear unfortunately. And to be honest, working for the military is really not what it used to be. There have been many folks - mostly older - who have told me the same thing. But, as it stands, they're talking about changing all the retirement rules, resulting in a crappy retirement for those guys. That is one issue among many that are going to change the atmosphere of military service.
I absolutely enjoyed my time in, and have made some great friends. I just think that it isn't for me anymore, and I will be better off elsewhere.
I've interviewed a TON and have had some really great opportunities. I don't think I will remain unemployed for long, but I am a bit short on cash currently - The only negative aspect so far. A lot of employers really do look at prior military favorably, and being prior nuclear is also a great help to me. So far the biggest hurdle is location. I bought a house a year ago, so moving would be a pain.
But THANKS FOR ALL THE POSITIVE COMMENTS! I really do appreciate that some people actually do read posts like this and offer up advice/supportive comments, so thanks.
