Hi, I currently am deployed with the military in Afghanistan and was in Iraq in 2005. I am in the Tx Army National Guard and will be coming back to the states soon and will be looking for a job. The last job I had outside the military was in the medical field. The Hospital I worked at shut there doors. I am going to take my time looking for a job and hopefully this will be the last job I ever have to look for before retiring. I want to stay in East Tx area. Thanks for any help in looking.

What field? Homeland Security is probably the best agency based on your degree.
