Practice?! We talking about practice!? Not a game! Not a game! Practice! #HappyFriday! Phil Kendro is right! We can prepare, but not quite practice. You can practice networking, applying, and interviewing before you transition or plan a career change.

Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to reflect on the immense sacrifices made by those who have served in our armed forces. To all the veterans-past, present, and future-thank you! Your courage, dedication, and commitment to protecting our freedom and way of life are beyond words. You've faced challenges that many of us can't even imagine. May we never forget the price of freedom, and may we continue to support and uplift those who have given so much for our country. #RepublicServicesVALOR10 #VeteransDay #RepublicServices #SustainabilityInAction

𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀 Most Veterans, whenever they're in the military or just coming out, they've been told for years what their mission is, what their purpose is, and why they exist. And then when they get out, they do not have that clear focus of where to go next. Every Veteran is at a different point in their life. I empower Veterans and equip them to do the things they need to do to be a better version of themselves. Have you thought about your purpose after the Military? Let's talk and take a look at your thoughts?

I consider this good advice when meeting a veteran, just thanking them for their service is perfect for many people, if you mean it. 😊 Some veterans might have seen a lot of combat, some, none at all. It doesn't matter, each one is different. Why "thank them", as they did get paid by the US Government already? They signed the US military contract and took the "OATH" to protect the country. Because of that specific "OATH" they took, it means potentially sacrificing everything, including themselves and some of their best friends, to achieve the mission. 🙋♂️ 🙋♀️ In pretty much every other professional field, you can "QUIT". This includes the FBI, DEA, CIA, Federal Law Enforcement, fire-personnel, police and first responders. Civilian employees "QUIT" in the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars all the time, I witnessed this, and we remaining there had to make do.... Veterans/military personnel, outside of medical necessity, can't "QUIT", until their service obligation is complete. They had/have to follow their orders, even if it leads potentially to their deaths. In combat/war zones, it's generally "follow lawful orders" from your officers/non-commissioned officers (NCOs), or go to federal military prison, often in disgrace... These are just my thoughts after several decades in combined US military and Federal Law Enforcement service... Doesn't mean I assess one career field is better than the other. Military service though is different, for your entire life. 🙂 ..... #specialoperations #DEA #USArmy

How to Talk to a Veteran or current Military personnel: When meeting a veteran or current active member of the Armed Services for the first time, it’s always a kind gesture to thank them for their service. However, it's crucial to be mindful that many veterans may feel uncomfortable in how to respond. Avoid prying into their service background or asking about "war stories," as these topics can be deeply personal for them. Instead, allow them to share their experiences if they choose. Be there to support and listen without judgment. It's important to recognize that everyone’s experience is unique, and many veterans face complex emotions tied to their service. History has shown us the harmful consequences of mistreating veterans, as seen with those who returned from Vietnam war. Let’s ensure we never repeat that mistake. Remember, your political views should never influence how you treat someone who has chosen to serve their country. Respect, listen, and show support to our veterans.
