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

H40A experience managing hardware and software resources, working with UNIX and Solaris, and planning networks transfers directly to systems and network administration.

How to prepare: Build a Linux lab and document system configuration, resource monitoring, and recovery from a simulated network or software failure.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and administer computer networks and related computing environments, including computer hardware, systems software, applications software, and all configurations.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve hardware, software, or other network and system problems, and replace defective components when necessary.
  • 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)
  • Bash
  • Linux

Database Administrators

H40A work with Oracle and MS SQL Server, software resource management, and application integrity verification provides a foundation for database administration.

How to prepare: Use an Oracle or SQL Server test database to practice a software upgrade, configure user access levels, and document tests confirming that applications still work.

What the civilian work involves
  • Plan and install upgrades of database management system software to enhance database performance.
  • Specify users and user access levels for each segment of database.
  • Test changes to database applications or systems.
