Actually, Civvy Street is the NORM, Military life is "different" - but it is what you're used to.

1st. Make sure you ditch terms like 'Team', 'We' and 'Us' and any military jargon and junk from your CV unless it is pitched at a "Team" or military-type job.

2nd. The first job you take, whatever that is and whatever it pays, is not your whole future life. If you dont like it YOU can move to whereever you want - there is no 'loyalty' except to the job that YOU like.

3rd. If you want more money it is unlikely that you will get it from your employer without changing contract - essentially getting a new job.

4th. The only persons you are really answerable to is your family - if you are single there should be no debate about what YOU want to do next.
