Aside from the leadership and responsibility we're trained to for the core skills of my actual job came from Electronics training, Tele-Communications and Space Communications. I'm obviously in the low percentile of vets with military training that is extremely beneficial in the commercial sector. The company I work for now places emphasis on hiring vets because they are dedicated, follow directions, self-starters, educated, and so on. I'm in a position to hire and 90% of my new hires are vets. Starting income is $50K per year, right out of the service.

Work ethic that will run non vets into the ground in most cases, responsibility for oneself and your assingment, honesty, they can lie all they want, I choose to be honest, life is easier that way, I dont have to remember any lie i may have told, and further that lie with another one. You wont last very long like that.

As always, it depends on the job you are applying for. Many of us advanced to senior positions in the military and have leadership and technical skills. Depending on the job you are after will require a different set of skills. Overall, my estimate is that communications skills (written and oral) are most critical.for getting the job and advancing after getting the job.

Elicitation, Interviewing and Report Writing. (I'll put safe-cracking, lock-picking and foreign languages as four, five and six!)
