Do you mean besides using F-bombs like commas and knife hands? I kid. I think being an honorably discharged veteran show that you can keep a commitment. Not unlike a degree, which may or may not have anything to do with the job you're applying for, that shows you can finish something that you started. But unlike a degree, the commitment a veteran kept likely put them in harms way and far from home and came with challenges no degree can claim.

MAJ (Join to see), first I loved the f-bombs and knife hands. That actually does have some interesting connotations in that military vets are a little more colorful yet they are hard workers
As to your second point, that's a pretty profound yet simple statement. I've interviewed some student-veterans who feel the same way. They get very frustrated by their peers. Its also an interesting point since military service, like a degree is a source of skills and knowledge, but one explicitly tests it in a high intensity environment.
Great feedback - thank you!

Discipline, sense of mission, flexibity of thought, especially if you are a logistician

MCPO Roger Collins - absolutely. Its an interesting observation though. Did you notice any difference in the ones that did maintain them vs those who became the same as the others? Anything that would indicate who it would happen with

MAJ (Join to see) Some liked the aspect that you could confront their seniors with limited repercussions. After the military protocol, it was appealing to some. This transition was normally a year or so. One of my brightest instructors once asked me if I wanted him to think like me. My answer was only if you want to be promoted. Intelligent, but disruptive.

Technical Training for a large Telecom corporation. My group was 100 instructors and support staff. BTW, I was hired by a retired Army CWO-4. At my base pay at time of my retirement.

Discipline, training, desire. We are trained to work with little, get nothing and still make it happen. We don't cry (outloud) over lack of supplies, but still get the mission done/succeed
