What are some fields and occupations where others have been successful? Is there anything that an 11B has been particular good at once they get into the civilian sector?
Or maybe even particular companies that really "get" what an 11B has gone though and taken the appropriate time and training to make them successful?
Any guidance or thoughts about Infantryman transitioning back into the workforce is welcomed.

I have found that investigative and business oriented work love infantrymen. The dedication to duty, professionalism, and desire to lead are huge values in those areas. I know first hand as I am an infantryman in an investigative position, and my employer specifically stated such. Hope that helps!

Law Enforcment, try to progress and join the SWAT team, that's where your 11B skills will be put to use the most

It will all depend on your level of experience while in the military. As a previous employee of Dept of Homeland Security working for Immigrations Customs and Enforcement (ICE). I was given opportunities working as a Human Resources Assistant to move up the ladder that ICE provides those to become ICE agents. I turned it down twice and was glad I did. I just wanted to relax and be able to go home at 1600 and have a set schedule...that was just me

Slim to none. Stay in and get a degree in something that will help when you get out. Electrical engineering or something?

That self-starter, never quit attitude can translate to almost any endeavor; however, I would like to recommend one of the best small business opportunities available today - becoming a Farmers Insurance Agency Owner. You get to be your own boss as well as make a real difference in your community and in the lives of your fellow citizens. If you have interest - please visit http://www.becomeafarmersagent.com/

An excellent point about the Insurance Industry. I have seen them at numerous job fairs for both the military and civilian job markets. This is one of many like opportunities available. It takes hard work and dedication, but that is something that all infantryman can understand and relate to.
