Unmanned Aircraft Systems Pilot jobs... Iraq/Afghanistan?

I am currently in Advanced Individual Training with the U.S. Army to be an Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operator. I am National Guard, meaning when i get home in Jan i can pursue a civilian career, and i am EXTREMELY interested in working for a DOD Private Contractor company working OCONUS, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am curious if any of you know any way to break into this industry. I don't want a state side job, i am specifically looking for a company that will give me opportunitynity to fly the UASs in Iraq or Afghanistan. my only drawback is it would have to be a company that flies Shadow, cause thats all i will be trained and qualified to do.

My qualifications would be

-U.S Army trained
-Shadow 200/300 Aircraft Operator/Mission Payload Operator
-Associates Degree in Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations

any help is appreciated

Since you only want to work the Shadow, and the AAI Corporation builds it, I would start there.
