Here's a great look at why police work is such a natural fit for transitioning veterans. It's also a perfect example of why I get offended when I read other pieces online saying that veterans have no worthwhile jobs to come home to. The guys in this story are proudly serving the communities they grew up in - keep that in mind if you're absolutely against relocating. If you're willing to relocate (and everybody should be), law enforcement careers are everywhere, from local departments to federal agencies (including some you wouldn't expect, like the IRS) to private security. They practically demand many skills acquired through military service and the same spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood. It's not for everyone, but it is a career path to be proud of while so much of the world says that none are available for veterans.
