Civilian job suggestions:

Delivery Driver -- Delivery drivers haul all types of cargo through all types of populated areas. The unifying qualities they share, though, are diligence, timeliness and professionalism. The job requires more than just good driving skills; it requires time management, procedural correctness and business sense. Even if you didn't have direct experience as a delivery driver in the military, the qualities instilled in you through your service should more than suffice.

Transportation Operations -- Shipping goods, merchandise and cargo across the United States is a complex undertaking. Finding optimal routes and methods of shipment isn't easy, so transportation operators serve as expert analyzers of that system. Each one oversees a small portion of the entire network, but their job is necessary to keep the system functioning.

Materials Supervisor -- Large companies require large shipments of many types of materials. A materials supervisor ensures that the flow of resources within a company doesn't stagnate, stall or break. There are many components to the process and a lot of things can go wrong, so the job requires individuals with the ability to make complex decisions while stressed.
