I have been working at my current job for almost 3 months and I’m starting to really feel bad for potentially leaving soon. I honestly wouldn’t care because Ik company’s don’t care about the individual but my coworkers and just the job in general have been really great ( I am a maintenance mechanic btw). Especially my group leader who has been putting in a lot of effort to help me learn the building and it’s equipment and is also just generally a good guy. I’m also a temp hire currently and my group leader has given me really good monthly reviews so far and really is pushing for me to get hired on to the company.

So at this point I’m sure y’all are like ok what the problem if everything is great???

I was working at my old job for about 3.5 years and was really starting to hate it so I started to look for other jobs and couldn’t find anything/ never got hired after an interview.

I’m only 22 years old so I was like fuck it I’ll join the military and after talking to my wife about it we both thought it was a great idea because we still live at my dads house and have a 3 year old son togther and all the benefits would be great for us. I also always kinda wanted to join the military but when I was 18 I wanted to just smoke weed and chill and then when I was 19 I got my girlfriend who is now my wife pregnant so that all put any thought of the military on hold until now.

Well long story short I got denied a medical waiver by the army right after I quit my job because I was 99% sure it would get approved ( check out my last post for more details if your interested). The same day I was denied by the army I called a Marine recruiter and started the process with them but I also started applying to job because who knows how long the process will take or if they will even accept me at all. And I got the job I’m currently at Wich like I said in my first paragraph has been great mostly because of the people I work with.

So iv been waiting to get an answer from the Marines for almost 3 months and have been working at my current job for the same amount of time but I’m feeling like a huge asshole for wasting these good peoples time when there not my first priority career wise.

Also if the Marines do accept me I forsure want to give my current job a month or 2 resignation notice so they can find a replacement so my group leader isn’t alone on my shift but I bet it’s gonna be weird to work with him for another month of 2 with him training me when he knows there’s no point in making sure I know things for the future. For example he’s always saying stuff like “in a year for now you’ll be able to do all this on your own or when u get hired on you’ll be able to do this or that now” and in my head I’m like dude I might not be here a year from now if my military plans work.

so AITAH? And any advice?
