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.
