I have more than ample college education, a Bachelors in Biology and a Masters in environmental management however I've found that the vast majority of jobs that interest me look favorably on certification in chemical immobilization, M-44 devices ect. Not exactly the kind of training you get as a Combat Engineer or in college. How does somebody go about getting this training? Is it regional? State? Federal? Web searches have only added to the confusion. Any assistance or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks LostYooper

I was supposed to be trained as a Clerk/Typist. You can't imagine how happy my home unit was to get me back....a very thoroughly trained Combat Engineer. We could build a bridge in a day. ( And blow it up the very next day )
