[quote=Anonymous]Find a job in the field as quickly as possible, even if it's a small gig as an independent contractor.

OP, the answer to your question really depends on your DH's career field and what he wants to do.  An obvious choice is to convert into a civilian position or a job with a contractor somewhere in DoD or even State or Energy.  However, in this era of budget cuts, those positions are not as ubiquitous as they were a few years ago.

He could take his specialty into the "true" private sector, which is what I call things in DC that aren't directly tied to the US Government.  High tech, engineering, again depending on his background.

I've known more than a few retired military who moved into teaching, deciding to get away from the defense and intelligence world altogether.

The Army should have plenty of seminars and people to contact for transition guidance.  I think MOAA does as well.  And, many of the contracting companies have job fairs specifically targeting military service members.[/quote]
