How did you or do you plan to transition your MOS into a civilian career?

I did not plan to transition my MOS, Field Radio Operator, into a civilian career. My plan was to work for the Space Program, and I knew that I needed a degree to do that. I moved to the Houston area, found a good job and started college under the GI Bill. Five and a half years later, I had my degree, and started work on the Space Shuttle program.

I chickened out. I signed up for school VA style. Didn't get my first but second worked like it was suppose to. Went to school for 18 months and tire company came around looking for maintenance people. As I had many years as AGE it was right up my ally. I was offered a job and 18 and a half later walked out with pension. Pay was great, on short term possible better pay than smaller factories. Overall life time who can tell. More than likely the degrees. No looking back.

I planned and looked ahead for speacilty and used my leadership skills I was taught and learned. I had no issues transitioning to the civilian world. There's no real difference. You go to work dress the way your supposed to and be on time and are courteous polite and follow the company rules. I always felt that if I wasn't 15 minutes early I was late. I was raised that way and it always pays off
