I have been a Marine Corps Ordnanceman and an Air Force Ammo troop for 23 years. What are my post military career options?

With your military background, you may want to consider federal employment.

1. You receive a preference during the hiring process (for most applications);
2. You can buy back your time towards retirement.

My company provides free resume critiques to all military service members. You can submit your resume to us via email or by using our secure online submission form:

Please allow 3-5 business days for completion.

We use two different formats for corporate and federal applications. I can send you examples of each to get you started.

Fellow Ammo troop here. After 23 years of service what do you want to do? For me Instarted up a small business, a lot of Ammo join Dyncorp. Or equivilant. The oil fields love us, especially for Safety positions but you'll have to travel on cycles from Syracuse.

Ammo is a tough job to convert depending on what you want to do. I suggest you take your shot and do what makes you happy, whatever that is there is something you can sell.

If you can do light sales and may have a language skill, I would really recommend you take a look at Arise.com for outgoing sales. Pay is about ranges anywhere from 13-20 Dls. an hour and you work at home and they love veterans.
