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

Military experience maintaining server operating systems, software applications, and network infrastructure aligns directly with civilian systems administration.

How to prepare: Build a Linux server lab and document application installation, user access configuration, and a backup-and-restore test.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and administer computer networks and related computing environments, including computer hardware, systems software, applications software, and all configurations.

Computer Network Support Specialists

Managing client devices and accounts and resolving network connectivity problems transfers directly to civilian network support.

How to prepare: Create a connectivity fault in a lab network, use diagnostic tools to isolate its cause, and document the troubleshooting steps and resolution.

What the civilian work involves
  • Configure security settings or access permissions for groups or individuals.
  • Identify the causes of networking problems, using diagnostic testing software and equipment.
  • Document network support activities.
