Speaking with many different employers, they relay to me they are having a difficult time having veterans identify they are veterans.

Many companies/organizations have started military/veteran affinity groups as part of their corporate social responsibility. The question is why haven't you identified?

I had no issue with telling my employer I was a veteran. Wait, that could be due to the fact that I was still in the Army during the interview process. In reality I still have a few more days on terminal leave.

Why in the world would you not identify yourself as a veteran? There are a ton of employers out there that take great pride in their willingness, often times eagerness, to hire veterans. You have done something most cannot, or will not, take pride in who you are and what you have accomplished!

Funny, I can always tell the posts I have made from my phone. This, as with most, was full of mistakes. Combine a "smart phone", fat fingers and bad eyes and that is exactly what you can expect.

The employer received tax credit by my self-idenification

Could it be the general apathy the public has toward our military?
