A Loadmaster can get a civilian job with his skills,
but a Boom Operator can only lay down and pass gas.

Nah, in the KC-46A the Boom Operator will be in the crew compartment sitting at a console. The best a loadmaster can do in civilian life is stuff suitcases in the belly of a 737.

Seriously, if the goal is a civilian job, then he’s better off working a flightline job and getting his A&P license, or any one of dozens of other career fields.
