You shouldn't have any problems finding employment after your honorable commitment. All of the big guys are hiring quality network engineers, especially if they have military experiance.

If possible pushing your Cisco cert to next level and rounding it off with a Security cert would be a bonus, especially if Uncle Sam will foot the bill.

Like fondue said, you really shouldn't have any trouble finding a job.

I did the same in the navy. You need to fix your acronyms for you equipment. The timeplex you worked on, if I remember correctly, is an ATT Link 2+ TDM for voice and data systems. The IDNX I believe was a digital cross connect between a tdm and land line carrier networks. The idnx is an industry std. cross connect. The rest is good. good luck, i havent been able to find any jobs with my exp. I am getting my ccna this friday and will be going for my ccnp next semester. Hopefully all will work out.

I remember seeing a t-shirt that said " Instant Ass-Hole just add oil." & picture of Bush pointing like uncle Sam...

Back 2 topic..You should find a job just fine. Keep up the good work & honorable duty.
