Any chance of me getting a contract job as a National Guard UAS Operator fresh out of training?

I’m currently in training here at Fort Huachuca, AZ as a 15W UAV operator. My platform is the RQ-7b Shadow. I’m currently doing really well in the courses with a little over a month left. Everything has been coming extremely natural and I believe I can do really well as a contractor. I am looking into possibly going after some deployable contracting jobs. I know it is a very long stretch for a Operator fresh out of training. I just want to know if it’s possible? If their are contractors out there looking for an operator with the information fresh in their brain. Thank you for your time!

PV2 (Join to see), there are a slough of companies looking for UAS operators and trainers. I'm working in a field where I deal with contractors all the time and it's a big item. Are you talking about working in a ARNG unit as a contractor or working with a company who does training and operations for others? The latter is probably easier, but you'd have to ask someone in a ARNG MICO.

Thank you Sir! I haven’t really thought about either of those cause I’m not very educated on the different opportunities. Thank you for bringing them forward and I will do some research!
