48 Days for Military Veterans

Comment

Comment by Lee Flint on June 24, 2012 at 8:21am

Everyone thinks it's a good idea to hire a vet. Sometimes, though, it seems like they just want someone else to do it. According to Boston.com vets are encountering a difficult reintegration into civilian life, in some cases due to some misconceptions about potential problems in hiring combat vets. The VA and the services are working with service members to help them adapt. Now we're asking small businesses to meet us half way. So, what's holding you back?

Many franchises are recruiting veterans. Read "Back to Civilian Life" in Entreprenuer.com for an example of a prior-service military family who traded boots for wingtips. http://www.entrepreneur.com/blog/223665

Lee, I love 48 Days and the exchange of ideas but I'm not sure about social media and the military in any kind of professional capacity.  I must admit I'm behind the times I retired as a SNCO from the USMC back in 99, before all the social media.  I'm connected to several groups of vets on Linkedin and find that the web service togetherweserved.com is the best I know of for Military.  It's limited access and is 100% military.  As I said, I love 48 days, the program and the group but I'm not sure this page would be the best for professional relationships for military personnel.  Please let me know how things go and if there's anything I can do to help your efforts.

I'm wrapping up 10 weeks of Joint Staff Officer Training, focusing on decision making and critical thinking. I've encouraged my teammates to consider social networking sites like 48days.net for professional relationship development. Any other suggestions?

I'm currently involved in a project examining formal mentorship in the US Armed Forces. Air Force Instructions and Policy Directives require formal mentorship in addition to performance appraisals and feedback. I'm skeptical that this occurs routinely. As Dan releases his book about how to start a Mastermind Group, I'm wondering if groups like this would work in military organizations as a mentorship program. What do you think?

On the 48 Days TAP discussion, I have proposed matching 48 Days Coaches with Veterans searching for work. The idea generated one positive response. If you're interested, post a message and we'll keep you informed of progress.

Vets + Coaching = Jobs

To all Veterans on this special Veteran's Day, Thank You!

If you're struggling with life today is a great day to start feeling better, more like yourself. Being tough doesn't mean you can't ask for help. http://realwarriors.net/multimedia/psas/hopper29.php

Hello all!

Currently transitioning out of the Army in the D.C. metro area. Going to stay in Northern VA. I'm on Linkedin and most of the major sites if you want to connect with me! Also a new member of 48 days. Look forward to meeting new people :)
