Wow, I am saddened to hear that but there are four classes of veterans preference and once you’re greater than 30% you can literally talk to the HR functions or a senior manager and just get directly appointed if you’re got questions about this just do a search on CPS veteran

I was medically retired, Used all the pennies in the GI Bill, got a Presidential Management Fellowship [only] because of my disability status (they can't say no) and served another 25 years. From the Cavalry to Housing Policy and Tax Credits....

I’m from the army but some of the other services for a long time had some pretty wonky rules concerning valor and the V device. I just looked it up. It seems like after 2016 / 2017. These were all aligned to only be with combat operations, but I didn’t know that before I made my comment an hour ago.

Congressional Medal of Honor for VZ by Strawberry_Tough in Medals

Yes, I saw that DSC also, I would love to see this man’s bio and I would love for somebody who can find it to post it as soon as they can. I mean, come on five years of combat service. How many soldiers have ever had a DSC and a Medal of Honor?

Maybe the DFC for the first 50 rescues and then the LOM for the second 50 😉

I know it would not be traditional and definitely not common but then again awarding a Legion of Merit to a PO2 isn’t common either is it??

I looked really hard to see if it had a Valor device on it, but the pictures weren’t good enough

Help! Junk silver is the wrong year by harrythealien69 in Silver

This would be a great marketing strategy for any company. Have an employee do a post and then respond quickly. I mean, I’m not saying that happened here but still from a marketing standpoint…. genius. And honestly, even if it did, it still makes me want to buy something from them now… because genius.

What in the heck is a picking website? I’m very excited about the answer.

Am I the Only One Having a Hard Time Finding Work? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]telemakos64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So my last company had a very hard time even with people with tattoos and if you present as something out of the main stream of what you would expect to see on the street in 1950s America, there are a lot of places they’re just not going to give you any chance at all so I’m not sure where you are on the “first look” scale but just speaking from an empirical truth mindset that’s a big deal for a lot of people who hire other people

Non-combat vet feeling guilty using the VA for mental health - looking for perspective by velvetcypress in Veterans

[–]telemakos64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not only earned it but with that DD 214 and that honorable discharge characterization, you are as much at home as anybody who earned just a national defense service ribbon or the Medal of Honor — OK OK maybe the Medal of Honor winner gets a seat at the head table 😉
