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

Windows Server, Hyper-V, endpoint security, and file recovery duties transfer directly to administering and restoring civilian computing environments.

How to prepare: Build a Windows Server lab with virtual machines and Active Directory, then document a configuration change and a tested file-restoration procedure.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and administer computer networks and related computing environments, including computer hardware, systems software, applications software, and all configurations.
  • Perform data backups and disaster recovery operations.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve hardware, software, or other network and system problems, and replace defective components when necessary.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Active Directory

Computer Network Support Specialists

IPv4/IPv6 configuration, LAN switch and router setup, and small-enterprise network troubleshooting transfer directly to diagnosing civilian network problems.

How to prepare: Create a small dual-stack network lab, introduce routing and access-setting faults, and document the diagnostic steps and fixes.

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.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
