Answer:

One has to look at his potential career aspects and future.

If that is indeed your background, you should really consider looking into getting a job with the US State Department Foreign Service, they need multilingual people, possibly Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) perhaps with a military/CJ background. Odds are you won't be placed in Japan at first, but skills like that are invaluable so you might get something Japan related, maybe at the Embassy (but you might not, it's pretty much like being in the military, you go to where you are needed). Check out the US State Department's foreign service career website. Good job security, good pay, get to travel.

It's a career you should seriously consider with such a background.

An alternate US route, would be contractor jobs (via usajobs). There might be positions in Japan. Note that these all fall under the US Government and are not under regular Japanese Immigration.

If you decide on Japan and working in the Japanese private sector, what's the best you can do with your background?

You can't be a police officer there, you can't be in the Japanese self-defense forces....
Any advanced skills in banking, business or engineering?

English instructor is perhaps the only item that's really left...

Is that really the best use of your talents?

Check out usajobs first for contractor positions in Japan or check out becoming a foreign service officer serving the world.

If none, then review what exact qualifications you have, and what you can realistically get a job for in Japan in the Japanese private sector.
