They U.S. Army provides Soldiers and civilians a wealth of opportunities.
For information technology specialist Ron Hansen, it provided him with experience for a career after the Army as a civilian employee at Yuma Test Center.

Once back he capitalized on the college credits he had and attended Officer Candidate School. He graduated as a commissioned officer and led Soldiers as a heavy maintenance supervisor.
Hansen then re-routed his career towards technology.
“I just always had a knack for technology. So, I ended up going branch transfer with the signal core with wireless communication, satellite communications, all things signal.”
He worked himself up to the position of signal officer and network operations officer. Hansen said he never stopped learning.
“Along the way I went to more military school and increased my knowledge and capacity as a signal officer.”
