Thank you for your service. There are so many civilian jobs you can do. What do you like to do? You can teach, go into law enforcement, logistics, and government job. Good luck

helpful

I'd kind of like to do something different than law enforcement. What's the best way to see available government jobs, and apply?

I'd also recommend looking for a government job, but I'd look at the city level not federal. You'll see way more impact and faster moving projects if you work in the city (it's gov't so it's still slow but faster than federal programs). You'd have to look in your own city's gov resources to find job listings

Depends. What branch were you part of? What did you do? Do you want to travel? There are other factors as well to think about.
