Thank you.
You know, thank God for folks at places like the Good Shepherd Ministries, who are picking up the slack where the government's failed our veterans in meeting those needs. Thank you for the work you're doing in partnership with them to make that possible.
Can I stick with you? On skills training and whatnot, I've often heard from veterans that they have already acquired certain skills and knowledge in their roles in the military, and then they're not able to transfer them to a civilian career, even though they have the skills and the knowledge required, because they don't actually have the paperwork or the civilian equivalent to show they picked them up in the armed forces.
Is this something you've seen? What would you suggest could be done to make sure that the real-world experience they have from the armed forces can be applied to civilian careers in a more timely and efficient manner?
