Network+ overlaps a lot in the CCNA book. You also need access to a cisco router to be able to access it via SSH or telnet so that you can get practice with the command line commands. Get ready for a challenge, CCNA and the following certs are no joke. A+ is a walk in the park compared that CCNA.
Really, I wouldn't see companies caring about A+ or net+ for the type of jobs you (apparently) want. Certs are for people without experience, if you have experience, go with that.
Most of the guys on this board who have mid-level to high-end IT jobs don't have certs. Guys like me have to get certs because we don't have the experience to get any jobs other than entry level stuff.
The certs you are talking about are not for the type of work you are looking for. Seems like a waste of time for someone with your experience (if you are not blowing smoke up our collective asses about what you did at your last job).

As for military contractors for IT, only jobs I know for that are for overseas. They have the people (internally) or contracting from a big company for their IT stuff in the US. Also, if you did get a job like that, they would be shipping you all over the place to get training and work on equipment. Doesn't seem that good for someone with a family who doesn't want to move.
