How much of your HAZMAT/CBRN training and maintenance shop skills translated into the civilian workplace?

I Reiterate 100% what Lt Col Christensen says. Can you recall the number of companies that hit headlines because of the manner in which they handle / dispose of toxic waste? This is a result of not paying attention to HAZMAT regulations. YOUR experience in properly handling materials that you used during your military service will give you an edge over every candidate with no such experience who is going for positions as Safety/HAZMAT/Quality Assurance officers. Just read the job descriptions and tailor the wording in your resume to suit them. Good luck. You will probably have a job before I do and I've been looking, tweaking and coaxing. Alas, I have no maintenance or HAZMAT handling skills.

Hospitals and Fire Depts are always looking for hazmat- CBRNE especially trauma centers

At one Client's location that housed a bit and shipped a bit of Hazmat it came in pretty handy but rarely if ever for most Clients.

It'll be plenty useful once I am done in the military.

Even not MOS Q'd my CERF-P experience has. Landed me my job that I currently have now. I now stand in front of thousands of people and explain why Decontamination is so important and provide organizations the opportunity to learn what Industry has provided to help out the military with their CBRN needs.

It has allowed me to work as an Instructor at a Vo-tech, I spent 23 years in and then spent 20 years as a firefighter/paramedic, it has helped me with working as a professional firefighter, and it has opened other doors in the emergency management field that has allowed for me to attend more specific classes on on Hazmat, Confined space rescue...ect. In closing depending on what avenue you choose to follow in the civilian world it can be a great start to get your foot in the door, if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me, good luck.

Their are a host of jobs in both the civilian world and civilian military workforce that are looking for former military hazmat experience and you get an extra advantage if you have a security clearance.
I landed a GS 11 job with the army. Keep your certifications updated.

As an Aircraft Technician all of my 42 years in the field HAZMAT has played a major role. It will probably will continue to play a major role in all fields that deal with any Chemicals. Get the Certs for HAZMAT as soon as you can to be at the top of your peers as soon as you can. Further the Certs make you more marketable as well. I highly recomend getting Certified.

In my case, all of it, in one way or another, in a couple of different positions. As head of a small college B&G department, I was responsible for handling/disposing of all their hazmat/bio hazards/and any unused or bad chemicals.
Second job was Deputy Caretaker Manager for a company hired to dispose of a closed USAF base. You can imagine what I had to deal with there.

This is for you 88M's. I got out in '98.
I was at Ft. Stewart. 3rd ID!!!. I decided to stay if Florida. All was required from me to get my class A
CDL was my 348 showing I drove vehicles over 26,000lbs. The biggest truck was licensed for was HET. I also showed them my hazmat card. They issued me a A license w/ hazmat. I also got passenger endorsement because I had bus on my 348. Hazmat on your CDL has expiration date. After 9/11, a background check is now required. ($100.00) here in Fl. I think. Check what is required at your home state. Or where ever you decide to work when you get out. YES, having hazmat helps if you are going into the transportation business. More money and work opportunities.
