Do you actualy have your A&P certs (im surprised most actualy don't comming out of the army with a ton of experience turning wrenches on Helos, but that's another topic...)?
I know through a friend of a friend, one of those oil/drilling companies on the Texas Coast that operates a respectable sized helo fleet has its maintenance dept. run by an old-dog army 1st-sarge and he likes to staff it with ex-army helo guys and run his shop in a similar manner. He really only likes to hire by word-of-mouth and who he knows that knows you type of deal, but I can find out their name for you if you really need it.
