It probably seems like another lifetime ago when you were a recruit at Basic Training or Boot Camp learning to salute and march in step. No matter what your service agreement was, four years or even six, it seemed like you'd be in uniform for a long time.

But you've now been in a while, and soon you'll be back in civilian life. It's time to think about settling down, buying a house, and starting a career. And you know you've got options: civilian employers like the work ethic, teamwork and discipline that veterans bring to the table. That's not an issue. But are there any sure bets about the future?

A recent study from the U.S. Department of Labor makes one thing clear: if you're looking to get in on a hot industry, then the medical field is for you. And I don't mean you have to go to school for the next four to six years and become a nurse or a doctor. Many jobs in the industry only require several months of training.

The Department of Labor predicts medical jobs will grow an amazing 27% from now until 2014. All other industries combined are expected to increase by only 14%. Many of the medical jobs are administrative positions like medical billing, medical coding, medical transcription, medical administrative assistant and medical keyboarding. In the report, for example, the Labor Department projected that medical transcription jobs will increase a whopping 52% over the next seven years.

Whether you're deployed in Iraq at the moment, or in the Fleet somewhere in the Pacific, it's not too early to start training for your place in the medical field. You can take advantage of 100% Tuition Assistance and enroll in an online medical course while you're still serving. All you need is computer access, an Internet connection and a commitment to your own future.

The day isn't far off when you'll put on your civvies for good and count yourself, not a service member any more, but a proud veteran instead.
