I would highly suggest you get your schooling out of the way now, especially if you're not yet married. I assume you got the GI Bill? That can help you by enabling you to work part time pretty much anywhere while schooling full time. You get a check delivered as long as you're in school. With military and education, your job prospects would be very good. If you want to skip the education part, the government might have some jobs available. I hope you have your resume ready. A good thing to do is to look at the job description on a job you're looking for and make sure your resume has those same words on it. Good luck!

What is your MOS? Try finding something that you can use your military training as experience. When you get out, try applying for civilian jobs on the base if you plan on staying around a base. They like to give prior military the jobs and the pay is usually pretty good.
Also, if I were you, I'd go up to your local workforce commission wherever you decide to settle down and speak with a VA rep. They can help you with making resumes and applying for jobs.
And don't forget about your G.I. Bill (if you opted for it when you signed up). Get some schooling/training paid for by the U.S. government if you need some additional training/school to get a career that you would be interested in. You earned it afterall.
Good luck with your bright future!

How about going to college? Use your GI Bill and further your education. If that doesn't work for you for whatever reason, then do you have an MOS that has a real world application? Many do, some don't. If not, then I understand your confusion. There's no way I could tell you what to do with your life. Assess your own interests and strengths. Focus on those to find your way. Try to talk to a career counselor. They have fairly useless tests they can give you. It might not help you choose, but it might help you rule some things out. Their advice could benefit you though.

What did you do in the military? Is it something you can use in civilian life? For example, many ex MP's go into law enforcement. You can also go back to school and get a degree. I'd need more info on what you've done in the military to really guide you more effectively. Good luck.

If you are interested in law enforcement police departments but do it soon after your discharge. There are thousands of police slots open in the U.S. Pick a city you want to live in then move their to show local residency and apply. Also the U.S. Border Patrol under the Homeland Security Department. the are putting on 5000 new employees this year. Again don't wait check before your discharge// Good luck.

It all depends on you...what do you want to do? What type of experience do you have? Are you interested in going to college? I used the GI Bill to go to college when I separated from the USAF. The company I currently work for actively seeks prior duty personnel with technical backgrounds.
If you want to find employment you should talk to your transition assistance folks located on your base; they can help you find a career field that matches your MOS. They will also give you training on resume writing and help improve your interviewing skills. Good luck and thanks for serving!

My husband is going to apply for a firefighter position when he gets out, while going to school part-time. There are many things you could do with your military background. For example, you could become a cop.

What's your MOS? It's something you have experience in so do that. It'll keep you fed til you make a decision on a career or profession. I HIGHLY recommend getting a college education. If you have a Bachelors already, get a post-grad degree.

Ever try taking one of those career tests? They ask you tons of questions and then based on your answers it chooses different career options you might be interested in. Not quite sure how accurate they are though, mine came back with truck driver or Forrest ranger. Not really into trucking if you know what I mean...
