i would love to get a gig back home. i figure 2014, i'll have a total 11 years of active duty, combat arms army service, obviously operating around extremely heavy machinery(tanks and other things that blow up stuff), i've done and seen some things that i have yet to see in the states that would even phase me, and honestly, i just desperately need a job field that i feel i will still be accomplishing something. and get that fuckin rush. i'm working my way through a Fire And Emergency Management degree which i must somehow finish in two years, which i hope would also boost me up.

fire just sounds like more fun than being a police officer.

really good pay and benefits but you, like me, would go insane there. they dont run shit, mostly commercial fire alarms

you shouldnt have any problem getting that job though, really easy for military personel to transition to a civilian
fire dept job this way.
