Due to some unfortunate events in the recent times, there is a tremendous need for professional to train new gun owners and offer gun safety classes in may school districts and cities. You may find this as an interesting career choice with flexible working hours.

So let me get this straight, you are highly skilled in controlling very high value inventory maintain strict records, working with very high security, and manage within extremely tight safety constraints. Don't limit yourself to just weapons. Any very high value asset control groups are looking for you. Guns are not the only assets that are kept under tight control. Hospital medical equipment is very high value, as are lots of things.

Andrew,

Go to http://www.military.com/veteran-jobs/skills-translator/. It lists 12 skills you've obtained by being a 91K. I'm in Baltimore and can provide some employment assistance with the Maryland Army National Guard. Look me up in AKO.

Gunsmithing or Working at a Range / Gunshop might be something you should look into.

Alternatively, you might look into the film and special effects industries. For example, the Weta Workshop in New Zealand creates all sorts of things for shows. Disney is another that might be able to repurpose your expertise. Historical societies or military reenactment groups are others that might have ways to utilize your skills.

As was stated in the other posts the key to obtaining a role is to show how you are the best candidate with the balanced set of skills needed for the role. The skills you learned are the key to getting into the interview so the better you can sell the adaptability of those abilities, as they related to the job description, the better chance you have to get their attention. Employers always have a need they are trying to fill, so you need to become the one to address their need and in doing so you will be seen as a viable candidate. The needs are the hardest part to figure out, so read the posting, ask questions, research the company and see what is going on in their world and industry, then seek the place where you believe you can add the most for them.

Attention to detail, Physical security expertness, Accurate record keeping, Parts ordering and inventory, Daily/weekly/monthly inspection record keeping, Work orders, Keeping the supervisor informed. Don't plan on the degree to get a job.
What HR (todays world) does is use a 'search engine'. Now, of course I cannot know what "buzz" words they may be looking for, each business is different, but the facts are- that's what they do. They don't have to know anything about the position, but their job is to compile a few of the "most Qualified" candidates who will be notified to come for the interview. No matter HOW qualified you are, if you do not get past the electronic search engine- you won't hear a thing.
COPY the job description and PLUG it in your cover letter. Don't leave it like that. But that should be the starting point to meet the inquiry for the search engine. For each of the job requirements, briefly tell them how or why you are qualified.
All the Best

You may not have to specifically use that certification, but can use your experience to fit certain jobs in industry that require attention to detail, thoroughness, and integrity. A position within a quality organization at any manufacturing company would have use of your skills. Dont' think that you have to use that certification per se, having it shows that you have training in skills that may be applicable in many functions. List the skills that came with that training and you may immediately see applications for those in many job functions. Thanks for your service and good luck.
