Mitch,
I have have worked for over 10 years with policemen in providing 2 way radios for them and most of them have developed a trade on the side. I have found many are very knowlegable about guns, 2 way communications, security, carpentry just to mention a few. I personally work with one which works on 2 way radios after retiring 20 years as a police officer.They have developed a great knowledge of some of these things I mentioned so I think maybe a consultant type of job in these categaories without being shot at might be a direction to direct them in. This is only a suggestion of what I have seen. They feel very comfortable talking about these things I mentioned.Hopefully this might help.Jack Zufelt has a tape program about seeking your core dream, also Jay Abraham has some great tapes and books which might help. I would start with them.
Hope this will help.
