I was always curious about this. I often times will see Medics working in EMS/Hospitals, or MPs working in civilian LE. I always wondered though, just how many of you out there do something completely different than your military job? Like a Medic being a Police Officer, an MP working in EMS, an SF guy working in finance, a human resources specialist being a musician, etc.
Mainly asking because when I reenlist I was really thinking about continuing as a 68W and maybe trying out to be an 18D one day, but I really want to work in Law Enforcement on the civilian side. I have a passion for both fields, but (and this might sound dumb) a part of me always thought people might think it's strange or wasteful to have two jobs that have no correlation. I think I just want some reassurance that I'm making the right choice and that it's not going to cause any issues to want to work in both fields at the same time as weird as that might sound.
