Hello friends,

BLUF: I'd like any advice on getting into overseas contracting (security, PSD, etc.)

I have been in the ARNG for 6 years. 12Y Geospatial Engineer (TS/SCI) enlisted to E-5, then commissioning through OCS to 31A Military Police, and now having just been selected for flight school as an O-1(P). I don't have any direct combat arms experience and no deployments (though I have begged.) It seems I lack what most employers want which is either combat arms for combat roles or degrees/lots of experience in logistical/IT/other roles. I was wondering if anyone, since most of you are SF and highly sought after, knew of some ways plebs like me could get competitive? Are there civilian PSD courses to take or another good starting point?

P.S. My degree is in Criminal Justice because I was young and dumb so it's mostly useless for overseas contracting.

Any advice or networking suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
