Is this an accurate portrayal of the first moments after the Military? I think so, you get that initial feeling of doing things you haven't done in a long time.

I was scrambling too hard to find a job to bother with any of that when I got out 44 years ago - but I enjoyed the video anyway. And we didn't have to be concerned with stolen valor as much as being spit on by hippies and the like. Nobody wanted to steal "our valor" in those days.

SPC Frederick Kithcard- As funny as it is, afterwards. Mostly, it is just my wife laughing. She can not wait to call the boys and tell them ol' Dad spaced out in a panic. Lack of sl

Lack of sleep, time warp displacia, whatever it creates heart palpitations. Not as you get past 65!

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it though I got out in 1979. Landed a great job first week out in the field my AIT had trained me for. I was an electronics engineer until the VP Sales came into Engineering and said I was coming to work for him in "Inside Sales". I supported the 4 Regional Managers and the resellers they had lined up. After 8 months of busting my hump for EVERYBODY they sent me to Denver to open up the Rocky Mountain states and recruit very high end resellers as a District Manager. 2 years and back to Huntsville, AL where I had gone through 24K MOS school for 42 weeks. Huntsville is a lot like Bavaria where they got Werner Von Braun and his team for NASA. Back in Huntsville at UDS I managed all of distribution and resellers nationwide.
I learned so much I went to work for one of the New York based companies and had 14 states in the SE. Big base plus commission and that lasted through 3 different companies then I started my own consulting firm for Telecom. I am now certified by over 30 companies like IBM, HP and Cisco to sell their products. I make sales only to Fortune 100 companies like Dollar General, Tractor Supply Company, OHL and many others like Brach's Confection in Chattanooga. Lots of sweet side effects working with them.
Anybody here know the secret to working with the VA for Disability Compensation? 4 years, 1 month and still filling out forms even after my NOD (Notice of Disagreement) sailed through. Now they want of narrative of where I worked on Hawk radars and how I was exposed. THAT'S ON EVERY FORM I EVER SENT THEM !!!! DD214 goes with any and all submissions. It's all on there too !! I have a local "rep" and a Regional Admin and they are both civilians. Why isn't the VA staffed with vets who can relate? Nam in 73 doing cleanup on a LRRP team into Laos and Cambodia. I crawled through more mud than anybody at the VA has ever seen, unless they accidentally stepped off their sidewalk. Right now back pay stands at $144K and I know they pay those out. It would change my life, living on SSDI now. Wife starts getting SS in July and that will be awesome. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
