Spec Ops and after service employment

Posted by RhondaP on 10/5/2005, 9:53:22, in reply to "Re: Tom...Questions about retired SEALs"

Jan and I talked very briefly about this yesterday. There seems to be so few options to Spec Ops after they leave the service. The skills you are taught don't seem to do you much good in the everyday worlplace. Is this true? And if it is, isn't there a place within the military that retired Spec Ops could transfer to? I know there are only so many teaching positions....but it seems there would be other positions available.
