Soon - to - be, perhaps transitioning from military to civilian world.?

So here's the deal...I'm an Iraq War vet (Army), actually still here on deployment and am at a crossroads in my professional life...on the one hand I am thinking about re-enlisting as a recruiter because of the changes to the culture (work hours, strategy, etc.). On the other hand, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Communication (received prior to the Army) and have a couple of CompTIA certs in my bag (A+, Sec+). Plus, I have about 2 years experience with your usual help desk duties and a good amount of experience with networking and I.T. security issues (additionally, I handle the user accounts, troubleshooting, and communication flow for a unit of over 70 personnel with operations currently in 2 locations in Iraq, 1 location in Kuwait, and 1 location back at our home station in Alabama). I say all that to say, I'm thinking about getting out and applying for a federal job, perhaps a Department of the Army civilian. Now here comes the questions...Would I be an ideal candidate for a help desk management career (or any I.T. career for that matter) with the government? Hell, with private sector? I know the feds value CompTIA certs because they meet the DOD 8570 directives, and I know the feds value security clearances (I have one, by the way). Oh, forgot to mention I have about 2 years experience management. Anyway, what should I do? Any advice? My ETS is Jan. 5, 2013.
