It almost seems as if everyone is out for themselves. Not to much team work. I got lucky and got into a company that has mostly prior military, so we work together as a team. Good luck!

PFC Juyius Jackson - I keep reading over your question trying to formula a good response but I'm left a little confused. What does being or not being part of SF (which I'm assuming means Special Forces) has to do with your rate of success throughout your transition?

Please provide more thought to aid in the discussion.

It seems dominated by former sf in the Contractor field unless you have a non combat role. Im saying would it be a waste of time.

PFC Juyius Jackson - I'm still confused. Are you looking at getting a job with a private security force or moving into the private corporate sector?

Nothing is a "waste of time" when you transition if you are actively going after something in a positive and career building way.

I work in the the Security Sector stateside. It depends on what you want to do. Of course you are going to hire those in combat arms. It would only make sense. Preferably those with combat experience. I provide security at a Nuclear Power Plant at my civilian job. It pays much better than being a cop and we train often. As soon they saw I was an infantry officer they knew I would be a good fit. But it is an industry that shows favor to shooters. I am not trying to be anything of professional but if I had a security position open I wouldn't even really consider anyone that wasn't already combat arms with a strong background and combat experience. It is not a field you can just break into like many others.
