I'm in between the 6-12 month period. Would love to find something along the lines of my military expertise.

I have to say, it's a bit frustrating when you allow only one choice where 2 or 3 are equally valid.

Even though I have been continuously employed for the past decade, I have also been almost continuously looking for my next job (or at least accepting calls from recruiters and listening to what they were offering) for most of those same years. That is the civilian employment reality which I've become accustomed to -- and which I mentor my subordinates and peers to survive and prosper in.

Unable to get to the survey. But I would like to make everyone fellow veteran aware of a good employment opportunity. Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway. Checkout http://www.BNSF.com. After completing 3 months of conductors training I now have made over 75k a year for the past 5 years. I know of others who put more time in than me who have made up into the high 80s. Very selective recruitment process but nothing that any veteran that has remained drug free and without any law infractions can't sail through.

I am currently laying in a hospital in Utah after having spine surgery yesterday from a mishap that ended me career 23 years ago in the military, The doc told me its a 50/50 chance the op will change anything for the better so I am unable to look for employment.If this works and I can walk ,stand and function normal I am debating on going back to school and fulfilling a life long dream of working with restoring vehicles.

I own my own company and I am on the Sales side of Data Center Architecture. I have founded and grew and then sold three (3) previous companies, all of them at 7 years and roughly $40M in annual revenue. I guess you could even call me a "start up artist". I love Information Technology and have been doing this for 31 years.

I'm ready to retire as soon as I find a buyer for my current company. There is a very large retail company working with me to understand how they could buy me out then use the sales and services offers to other, smaller than them retail companies. This could be a large sale and allow me to support my current lifestyle. I love "Big Boy Toyz" and I'm not cheap!

SGT Rick Ash, if you feel comfortable sharing the name of your company I would be happy to pass it along to some of my friends who are investors. Maybe there will be a good fit there which would be great!
