congrats on having a worthless piece of paper.

Now that the ball busting is out of the way, don't become a LDWF Agent, you'll hate your life and the outdoors even more. You just end up spending all your time in a boat or in the woods trying to catch people that you start to hate being out there. Not to mention all the hours you'll put in only to have judges more concerned about Leroy or Jimmy and their back child support or possession charges and usually just slap your guys on the wrist.

Somebody said move to Alaska, do it. You're young and probably no family (assuming) so go do it. Dont bring all your stuff, just enough to get you going and roll out for a few months or a year.

The National Park Service is pretty good too, and like somebody said your military experience will carry over as time served.

A federal Fish and Parks Refuge Officer/Special Agent is an option too. They have Rangers that are assigned to certain areas, like say Bayou Savage, and you just work that refuge or go for the Federal Green Jeans, but refer back to my 1st paragraph.

Surveyor is a pretty sweet gig, I have a cousin thats been doing that for awhile in Austin and loves it. He makes good money now too. You can also try the USGS as well.
