In the Netherlands, many people who were in the military before go into law enforcement, and if they have a bachelor or higher (*ANY* bachelor, just to prove that you can function on at least that level), they can get into command positions fairly quickly by doing courses.
Also, I've seen people do steps in between: military -> security guard (+study) -> law enforcement (+ courses) -> commanding officer
Could that be an option for your husband? He already did the studying part to get his bachelor.
I'm just throwing around some ideas around.

He was a radio troop which means he worked on/repaired ground radios and then they moved him to Job Control which was basically being a dispatcher for all kinds of different maintenance then the military turn that into a civilian job. It was peace time and the military was trying to downsize their force. He was Deployed to Korea and then they gave him the option to retrain into another field, join the Army or separate. He chose to separate something he now regrets but at the time it seemed like the best option. He has a useless associates degree in Electronic Technology from the Community College of the Air Force which is now pretty obsolete. His career field there is pretty obsolete now and most of it civilianized.
I don't think there would be a real issue if the job market wasn't in the shape its in. He would have a good job by now. As I said earlier. He is competing with young fresh out of college kids that companies would rather take a chance on then someone who has proven themselves time and time again.
