The job of protecting the planet falls to environmentalists. The military employs Environmentalists to protect other personnel from environmental dangers like unclean drinking water and monitoring the proper disposal of human and chemical wastes. Environmentalists work in various Military branches including the National Guard, Army, Navy and Marines.

Army Training for Planet Protectors

Training for Military environmentalists begins with 9 weeks of basic training that is required for all enlists. After basic training, potential environmentalists will receive additional training in their field. Training for environmentalists involve classroom study of techniques and procedures for properly disposing of hazardous wastes, defusing bombs, sanitizing water for drinking and inspecting food for health and safety standards. More courses covered in training include planning for natural disasters and detecting nuclear and chemical radiation from pollution or warfare in order to defend against the substances.

Keep Protecting After the Army

 A Military environmentalist’s career does not have to end along with Military service. Instead, the environmentalist’s career should just be starting, due to all the opportunities available at civilian positions. Environmentalists may seek jobs as advisors for national or government organizations or seek jobs in their fields at local facilities. Environmentalists returning to civilian life may easily discover careers in sewage treatment, water treatment, crop sciences or even management and inspection of landfills. The salary for a civilian environmentalist will depend upon amount of experience gained as both a civilian and in the Military and which discipline the environmentalist is working. Salaries for environmentalists in 2006 ranged between $37,000 and $58,000 on average.
