You don’t have to be a fan of Stargate Atlantis to answer these questions, I'm also interested in hearing about the employment options of men in the United States once they reach a certain age and have certain qualifications.

That's an excellent point. The civilian population would be happy to use him to further their research.
(Colorado Springs also has a fairly vocal born-again/anti-gay segment of population.) Area 51 is a good alternative, though.
Yes, I've read that about Colorado Springs. How far is Area 51 from there?

I suspect John is going to spend a lot of time travelling.

Hee! I'm nowhere near my 20's, and didn't mean to imply it. I'm just curious as to what males (in this context) can do if they decide on a career change. In Australia, the days of staying in one company for fifty years have long gone by, and it's very difficult for people to become 'retrained' once they're not longer needed (i.e. fired or retrenched).

I think it's actually a little easier for somebody like John to get back into or essentially enter the civilian workplace here - just because of the military background. People tend to - or seem to anyway - view guys with honorable discharges as being more trustworthy, better workers, better employees. A lot of retired pilots fly for airlines of all sizes and then there's test piloting, for example. You can have a lot of fun speculating on what he might do for a living after the military and I do *G*.

That was my thinking as well, but I just wanted confirmation that that would be the case in the U.S. As to his emotional state, I think you're spot-on, but a man's got to work! (At least, once his money runs out ;-)

The specific craft he mentions experience with are all helicopters. Civilian helicopters include:
Shuttles from downtown to the airport
Tourist sightseeing flights
Private/Corporate charter
Radio traffic reporter
Police and Fire Department
Forest service
Movie company or news camera-copters
Medivac, including organ network transport
If he was in Colorado this year, he could have been flying bales of hay out to snowbound cattle.
If you'd rather put him in fixed-wing craft, add passenger airlines and FedEx to your possibilities list.
I don't see him as an instructor -- he didn't seem to enjoy teaching Rodney to fly the puddlejumper.
