When i was in the service, I kinda did my job. When i got out i landed a medical logistics job at a hospital that paid me $40/hr start.

Worked with a few - it’s not a glorious job but it’s very important for maintaining medical operations; no stuff = no patient care. I have a greater appreciation for their work now after deploying than I did before. As others stated there are definite civilian workforce applications.

I am with a CMED INARNG unit out of Indiana. We recently did a rotation at Ft. Polk and it was the 68J's job to supply, reorder, organize and keep an entire Brigade in the green on all medical equipment and supplies to include much-needed sunscreen, drip drop, bug spray and foot powder. It isn't a "glorious" profession but if the line medics and field hospitals don't get what they need, there are real-world casualties. As to what is done on a day to day if you aren't in the field, it is mainly logging, inventory, ordering and attempting to anticipate the need for real-world and training supplies. You will learn skills that you can translate into the civilian side if you can explain confidently the scope of the position and training, perhaps in a logistics, supply, retail or even medical supply field but I can't think of a position that it directly feeds into.
Hope that helps!
