Happy Sunday everyone! Jumping on here looking to connect with some vets that have went into project management. Super interested in the field, finishing a BBA right now, have years of experience in construction as a laborer/apprentice but not just interested in the construction field. Bonus points if you know the defense contracting field. Thanks and cheers!
Good afternoon everyone, I’m coming on here with a few (broad) questions and accepting input from anyone willing to give it. I am interested in getting into the world of project management and wondering where to start. I have 5 years of time in the Army 3 of which I spent leading soldiers from the team (5 people) level all the way up to briefing at the Battalion (600-1,000) people. I’m currently working on finishing my BBA and looking for an entry level position in the career field. Right now I’m working as a Groundman on a line crew (high voltage electric) and I have loads of different experience in the construction field as a laborer/apprentice. I currently reside in my hometown in South/central Ohio but am willing to travel as needed. Looking to switch careers ASAP as I’m tired of labor work and want something more. I appreciate any input/advice
4.5 years in the Army. Plan on adding much more, back after a break in service. Cheers boys
Hello fellow vets, coming to the masses in hopes to get something at least a little interesting. Since getting off AD army in 2024 I’ve done a number of different things, worked in 2 different trades, been to school, back in the Army reserves and currently working in the power line industry.
I have quickly realized that a regular stable job/career (at least that I’ve found so far) is not fulfilling or interesting to me. I am currently in a train up and pursuing NG SF however, I am interested in a change of pace as far as work life goes. What are some things you all have done/are doing that helped you find and maintain interest while making a living?
I don’t have many hobbies as I pretty much work, and train currently which is perfectly fine with me but I would like to try different work and find something that interests me enough to stay in long enough to be worthwhile.
While in school I was working towards a B.S. in exercise science as that was about the only thing I could see myself going to school for and wanted to be a S&C coach. Recently I’ve switched paths to just finishing a BBA online as more of a general/quicker path since I don’t have a specific academic/career goal in mind.
I’ve been interested in possibly the PA route but have heard so many people say don’t do it for xyz, I have many lawyers in my family and that seems like a good path but I’m not sure how I would fare working in an office everyday.
For reference (if it matters) I’m an E5 12B with a tab, airborne, and a plethora of other schools.
Kind of all over the place I know, just looking for my place. All input is welcome and appreciated. Cheers
My current state (OH) does not have any SFE/SFRE’s listed on the guardsf website if I were to attend another state/group’s SFRE would I have to then join through that state? I’m prior service currently in the Army reserve but in the process of trying to switch to the guard in order to attend selection. TIA
