Its not so much your MOS that gives you opportunities on the outside, its your experience (schools, hands-on) that writes your resume.

As an 18E, sure you have the Freq Manager Course, which is a big help for an Echo if you stay in that field. But SOTIC, SFARTAETC, RANGER, HALO, SCUBA, OPB, & OIFs 1-20 (don't laugh... it'll happen). Plus Blackwater, Gryphon Group, blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. With any of these you could contract (the norm... especially for our NG SF brothers), start your own business, or just work at Wal-Mart and be a shopping cart nazi. Different strokes for different folks.

As long as you have earned the trust and respect of the guys to your 3 and 9 you can do whatever you want and be OK in my book.
