Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Network and Computer Systems Administrators

Airborne network management, tactical data link management, and communications duties provide transferable experience for civilian network monitoring and administration.

How to prepare: Build a small Linux and Microsoft Active Directory lab, then document network configuration, access administration, and troubleshooting exercises to develop enterprise systems experience.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and administer computer networks and related computing environments, including computer hardware, systems software, applications software, and all configurations.
  • Operate master consoles to monitor the performance of computer systems and networks and to coordinate computer network access and use.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Linux
  • Microsoft Active Directory

Notes & Sources

  • Duties vary by aircraft, mission set, and crew position; the network administration path is most relevant to aviators with documented airborne network and tactical data link responsibilities.
