Military Wife Veteran
Being in the Navy was mentally, physically, emotionally draining. It also was very rewarding and gave me a sense of pride. No one can take away or credit themselves for my accomplishments. I worked my ass off and proved myself in a male dominant field that I would be equal if not better than my subordinates. When I decided to join, I was 18. Attended one year of community college and I felt stuck. You're probably thinking, "If you couldn't commit to going to community college, why make a four year commitment in the Navy?" That's the million dollar question. I still don't know why or what made me take a drastic change in direction. It just felt right.

Joining the military is an exciting and respectful way for young men and women to build their careers through job training and military service. For active duty members who become disabled during training at home or deployments in war zones, however, there are new challenges to face in the job search process as civilians. Veterans may have a distinct physical disability or not so obvious emotional hardship like post traumatic stress disorder that can affect what they are comfortable doing for work. While there are ways veterans with PTSD to get help, as well as medical help for physical disabilities, for many it is necessary to get back into the workforce once they return from duty.

Veterans in general are amazing individuals who risked their lives serving our country and believing in our freedom. Going out there into battle and facing horrifying events, all veterans should definitely be treated with respect for what they've gone through sometime in their life.
