 As you look forward to 2022, and find yourself evaluating potential candidates to fill roles...here are some thoughts on why you should value the experience a #veteran brings...

Whether they have experienced combat or not - every veteran has experienced training to prepare them for executing under the most trying of combat conditions.

They have a very unique understanding of the commitment it takes to carry on - beyond exhaustion - how to make do with less - and still win, even against overwhelming odds.

They have a bone-deep understanding of the importance of these words: Duty, Leadership, Teamwork, Esprit de Corps, Attention to Detail, Preparation, Execution, Precision, Going The Extra Mile.

To be sure, there are some veterans that represent the fringe of a frayed cloth - but you will find that the major body of that cloth is whole and stout - and it will serve you well, as it served the country.

And, remember: Almost no veteran ever joined their service branch with the required experience to perform their specialty. They had to learn - and learn quickly. Uncle Sam made a bet in investing in training them. So should you.
