GaryW Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Depends on what you want to do and can do. Your asking a broad question. Military background, you could do law enforcement. If you record is clean from the military. There is so much open to you,, Just depends on what you would want. Then go after it. Give us some more to work with.

NeonSRT-4 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm in the same boat as you. After enjoying the retirement life for over 6 months I have found myself bored silly so I am looking for employment. Might as well make some more money, I hate being bored.

chazysoccer11 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hello, 11B army? Guessing you are an e5/e4, many options available to you with a honorable discharge. Customs is hiring, you keep your 4 yr govt service time, and you can buy back any active duty time. The govt loves hiring prior military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How about a Boot Camp Leader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How about something in your state. I'm not sure about where you are but here in Illinois Ex Military gets preferential hiring. There are some great jobs with great salary and benefits out there and you'd about be a shoe in being a Veteran. You'd atleast owe it to yourself to fill out some papers for grading and see what it can get you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_morrison57 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 When I was a few years younger than you and was looking for something to do, I asked myself what I wanted and what I would put up with. I was willing to work hard and be away from home a lot and I wanted big money and lots of time off. I found the Diamond Drills (surface exploration mining) it had travel, lots of money, well in Canada it does, and lots of time off, the money isn't really so big when you consider the hours worked but I always made 2-3 even 4 times what some of my buddies made,look at the price of gold now, oil too, you can't find a DD who isn't working or turning work down for the last 10 years, well 35 years later and 21 different countries I can say its been perfect for me, there is also little reflection on seniority, the best keep working when it gets slow, your reputation counts more than your years of service. I don't know much about the oil rigs but from your location it might be something to look at. I knew I was never going to be a suit and tie guy and I wanted to work outside, ask yourself the same questions I did and you can eliminate a lot of jobs that maybe in your area. The trades are a good thing to get into also. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonSRT-4 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 One thing I remember from TAPS (Navy transition program) is that you need to make finding a job your job until you find employment. I've recently just started ramping up my efforts to gain employment....I plan on spending 6-8 hour a day finding a job. Good luck in your search and I have faith that you'll find employment sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I live close to the Red Stone Arsenal, Had a buddy who was a military kid. His dad was a fire arms instructor in the core, got a job here in Bama with his previous experience. Really did well for himself until the issues involved with coping from PTSD kicked in. I have another friend who is contracted by them, and the first guy's son is trying to get a job out there. He was recommended to USAJOBS - Veterans This is US wide so you can narrow the search.
