This is good stuff Eric but I think a major challenge veterans have in the workplace is securing meaningful jobs. Interrogation, amphibious military equipment operations, and reconnaissance skills don’t translate well in the civilian workplace community. The teamwork philosophy commonly emphasized in the civilian workforce is no comparison to the comradery shared in the armed forces. We need more corporate education and management training around military recruiting and veteran workplace adaptability. Their sacrifice and contribution to the security of our freedoms merits we do more.
