JC, I really appreciate your comment. Your reasons do resonate with me. I will make sure to attend tech resume workshop to translate my resume for the civilian audience. Did you face any specific challenges when going from bureaucratic environment to corporate? I am not sure about the US Army. I am in the Canadian Army, where we change our position every 2 years. Therefore it doesnt make me specialist in certain position, but I have lot of experience in a leadership role. Is the US Army the same?

The US Army typically rotates positions every 2-3 years, sounds basically the same. The Civilian world is actually catching up to this concept, "externing" is the new buzzword. If you've learned how to thrive in a bureaucratic environment like the military, you can survive in any medium to large sized company. You can also adapt to small growing companies, you know what level of bureaucracy works and what is stifling.
