I'm an army vet as well and I found Arizona to be vet friendly. If you want experience as well I suggest that you travel some hooking up with the old school hippie types. That will help you on your way. After that try the online horticulture gig, this offers the resume candy and is flexible so you can do your thing. Anyway, the ground pounders say high!
