Civilian hoping to report for duty at a vet service agency.

[KamaAina]

What do I need to know? I did live in Hawai'i for several years (hence the name), so I know more about the military than most folks, but what should I say if I am lucky enough to get an interview, likely with a vet?

I know about the stigma surrounding PTSD, believe me; I have a disability myself. The irony is that the military instills habits in its soldiers/sailors that employers claim to want, like punctuality, ability to take orders, and teamwork. I also know that vets stick together almost as closely as a unit does. But that could work against me if, as I suspect, I'm up against some vets for the job.

Over and out.
