Unmanned Aircraft Systems Pilot, Contractor work.?

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

If your instructors don't know then it's not possible. Your best bet may be to apply to the supplier or manufacturer of the equipment you're trained on but I would suspect you will have to be in the top of your class to be considered.
