In 1982, after about 10 years of Navy avionics and before going to college, I leapt into civilian life with no preparation or planning. I walked into the Orlando newspaper building and asked to place a “job wanted” ad. The newspaper policy was generous—veterans got 6 lines free (in a skinny column). So I simply advertised the following words:

NAVY AVIONICS TECH

(407) XXX-XXXX

By 0600 the next morning after the papers hit the streets, my phone was ringing off the hook. I visited several firms that day:

A hospital equipment repair company needed a tech to repair things like ultrasound machines.

A sewer pipe welding company needed a tech to repair the robot that crawled through pipes.

A pinball machine company needed a tech to repair pinball machines.

A shady dude with a garage full of high school kids soldering quietly needed an electronics engineer who would reverse-engineer name brand car alternators and then design a cheaper but functional identical model.

A firm at the airport that modified executive G-3 jets to the desires of Arab sheikhs needed a tech to build custom-made electronics suites such as stereo systems and TVs for passenger seats. (Those things were not yet common.)

ALL FIVE gave me a solid job offer on the spot. I was employed that afternoon.

So I was pretty happy with the training and experience the Navy gave me.

imagine showing up to an interview and having someone explain to you that its "high school kids soldering" not "high school kids soldiering"
