I know there is a lot of turnover in this career. People decide that this is not what they want, or maybe it’s too stressful or they cannot work with the hours. I have many things to offer. I know what I want, as I have experience in this field. I honestly enjoy doing it, and love the rewards that come with this career. This would be a career stepping stone for me, so you can be comfortable in knowing that I can be counted on. The skills I have and the opportunity you can offer would make a great recipe for success for both the company and myself. Thank you for your consideration and the opportunity.

1. don't mention the negatives such as the high turnover. also don't waste your time and paper trying to be a waiter. you were a soldier and a prison guard? for gods sake get a job as a commisioneer giving out parking tickets for twice the pay and none of the hassle. they only hire ex millitary or ex police. what about a bank guard or something a little more prestiges that actually pays the bills and has better hours?
2. I it not clear why you talk about turnover in your cover letter. I would either take that out or bring it back to why they should hire you. I would also keep away from talking about this job being a stepping stone. Even if it is, I wouldn't introduce yourself by telling them you don't plan to stick around. Every statement in your cover letter should be an answer to the question "why should I hire you?" Also, maybe you should edit this post to remove your personal information, just for safety.
