He would have to network of course. A company I worked for had an old military guy who always gave preference to applicants with service history. He hired a guy with similar credentials for a similar salary/position. You never know. But those would be the jobs I’d apply for if I were him.

You're the one seeking advice (or perhaps validation) on a message board.

Are you sure of that?
The fact that you come here with such a question seems to say otherwise.

How much would you pay me?
To answer your question, I wouldn't pay you anything.
Hell, I wouldn't even let you do my laundry.
See what re-enlistment bonuses are available for shitbags in your MOS or Occ Field.

Sounds like you’d be highly marketable in a logistics field working for the government, he’ll maybe in a Fortune 500 as well. Sometimes big employers just see that you checked the education requirement blocks, add a lot of them salivate over military experience. Additionally there are a lot of recruiting companies afforded to you who will advocate on your behalf. You’ll likely be better off than 3/4ths of the posters in this thread. Are you an officer?

You sound insecure.

If you are DAWIA level II or III certified in contracting you shouldnt have a hard time landing a DOD contracting officer (to be clear as a DOD civilian, not a contractor) job with either NAVFAC, USACE, or the like when you get out. Outside of DOD thats known as FAC-C level II and III.
I just saw a job the other day on usajobs for a GS-12 position within USACE as a contract specialist. Good luck.

Go work for a larger bank. Someone like USAA might see you as a very interesting candidate.

OK bright star, you seem confused so I will indulge you and "break it down" for you.
The OP is the one that came here looking for guidance. I was just trying to keep it real with him but I'm the one who sounds insecure?
Perhaps you're not familiar with how military service transfers to the civilian world.
If you have a DD-214 and would like to compare them, we can do that.
I'm confident in what I did in the Marine Corps and also in the career path that I took after leaving.
Thanks for your concern though. Have a great day!

You still sound insecure.

You immediately belittled his branch of the service. Is that what is considered keeping it real?

No idea what that is.

That is great but doesn't preclude insecurity, though it should. And if you're not insecure you were being a douche bag.
All that aside, I would like to take a moment to say thank you for you service.

I’d would accept a contract to kill you for $17,500

Yes. I immediately belittled his branch of service. I have witnessed several different Army units in action and, as a result, have formed a strong opinion about the Army in general.
Although the character of individual servicemembers can vary wildly, the experience and qualifications presented in the OP didn't seem very impressive to me. Perhaps the OP has an outstanding resume but needs to "market" his skill set better.
Granted, I probably came across as a douchebag. I don't care about that. I know I'm an a-hole. Some people don't really like hearing what many others consider to be the truth. I'm not one of those people.
As for my service...I considered it to be a great honor and, at times, a pleasure.
Personally, I always find it awkward when someone thanks me for it. To alleviate the perceived awkwardness, I like to infuse some levity into the conversation by thanking them for paying their taxes.

Sounds like being in Global Supply Chain or Contracts at Raytheon or Lockheed is your next move. They both love hiring ex-military.

You're begrudgingly welcome. I never served, grew up in a time where there was some degree of contempt for the military and that probably rubbed off on young me. I have since come to understand things in a different and, in my mind, better way. I do have several family members who served, a couple as career members, which is why I like to thank people who serve, having seen the everyday sacrifices they have made.This post was edited on 12/26/19 at 9:57 am

Fat fingers, story of my life. Neglected to preview. I'll correct, thank you.
