Look, your best bet is NOT to enlist. Get your citizenship first and
either
jump into the Navy or Air Force as an officer OR go to someplace like
Eglin
AFB, NAS Pax River, MD, or NAWS China Lake, CA and get a challenging
technical job as a civilian engineer (civil servant). The pay will be
decent, and the satisfaction is great because you'll be working with
cutting
edge weapons systems--hands on--an engineer's dream.

The best advice so far, but....

Sorry, the story is so vague and downright strange I would pass on
it if I was in a hiring position. I apologize in advance to the
author, but my initial impression of the post was that it was bait for
an upcoming troll or a fabrication from a very young (naive) person
creating a scenario for whatever reason.

I actually thought so too, but then I figured it was whacked enough to be
true, because I've known people who did the tour all the way through postdoc
in sciences and engineering, and then they realized that they didn't like at
all the career path they had chosen.

I'd just hire on the basis of demonstrated electronics knowledge if that's
what trips his trigger.
