What civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?

If any, what jobs would allow a civilian to work with/interact with military personnel on a daily basis?What civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?A lot, usually involves technology...i mean military hires contractors all the time to build, repair things. What military does is to execute missions with the things they were given. But assuming that you mean to be working WITH on a personal level, i would say Aerospace field such as the famous Boeing, Lockheed Martin..etc where they would build the latest fighters for U.S...i mean, anything the military is using : buildings, foods, vehicles, weapons, gadgets..etc..they are all made from private companies..there are only few exceptionsWhat civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?
Many ART "Air Reserve Technician" jobs, civilians work next to their military, active duty, counterparts on a daily basis.

In the Aircraft Maintenance areas, ART are Federal Civil Service employees during the week, and Drilling Reservist on the weekend.

They do the same job as active duty during the week, just don't wear a uniform, and they can belong to a union.

There are a few, very few straight civilian jobs in these areas, but there are some.

Lot more Civil Service jobs, work with the military but seldom side by side.

There are ART positions in many AFSCs.What civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?Any and everything in the medical field. There are some telecommunication jobs that work with military. All housing and transportation offices are manned by civilians. Military pay and all personnel records i.e inprocessing/outprocessing are also manned by civilians. Pretty much anything you can think of.What civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?
If you can kiss enough butt, pass all the tests, find the right person who can bypass the employment garbage, have a 4 year degree, afford to wait 3 to 5 years to be hired, willing to put up with massive amounts of incredably petty rules and regulations that were pulled out of some baboons butt-



Oh, and pass a background check, and credit check to prove you're not a risk- you too could get a job working side by side with the nukes at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.



The Navy has a very strange requirement- if you have a 4 year degree you're automatically employable to work on nuke stuff. This means if you have a degree in Air Guitar you could work on nukes- yet, a guy with a 2 year degree carrying a 4.0 GPA can't. Go figure!



Otherwise, civilians arn't allowed to work with military per se- that is on combat front lines they wouldn't be allowed to work with.



HOWEVER, PMC's (Private Military Companys) can do things that the military can't. Example: PMC's can LEGALLY execuite people, use nerve gas, and in theory could even use nuke weapons....all because international treatys are written between nations and formal military organizations. PMC's are mercernarys and are specifically required to work OUTSIDE of the law.



So, you join the US Army, and you go infantry- you do your 2 years, get out, and you're unemployed. You see a magainze article in "Soldier of Fortune" that says "Former Military Wanted- pay 160,000 to start out",,,,,,and you get hired by Halburton for PMC "Hunter/killer teams" (Hunt down and kill bad guys- and bad attitudes is what got Halburton kicked out of Iraq 2 years ago)



Meanwhile, back when i was a signal soldier I was stationed on top of a mountain back at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Someone had given our 2nd Lt. the books that said our equipment could transmit both digital voice on 24 channels, and analog voice over 12 channels.



Somehow, the LT thought we could do both at the same time. I tried- with my 2 year degree in electronics- that the equipment could do one or the other but not both at the same time.



The Colonel believed the Second Lt, I was a lowly Coporal (I had more formal training than anyone except the Warrant Officer in charge of repair of the equpiment) and I knew we were screwed- and screwed big time. I drank coffee, sweated over the schematics trying to come up with some way to reprogram the system to make it work. I even took up smoking during this time- and desperately tried to make this work.



Anyhow- I've got books ripped up, diagrams taped to the wall- and the Colonel sent up a Civilian Repair Specialist for these systems to "make them work like the Leuteanants system work"



So the Civlian Specialist- I think my Stick Sgt "Bo" Thompson sent him to me- started out at my communications van. I show him the diagrams and how I needed to add an extra circuit that would split the difference between analog and digital by adding a "tag bit" to the analog signal so the system would know the difference.



The Civlian Specialist offered me a job as soon as my hitch was up- at 20 dollars an hour. That was a LOT of money back in 1987. Wish I'd taken him up on it!What civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?United Service Organizations is a way to get to interact with soldiers on a daily basis, but 95% of their personnel are volunteers, not paid workers.



You could join Xe (formerly known as Blackwater), but that's probably not a good idea. Those guys are kinda crooked.What civilian jobs allow you to work alongside military?
