Employment Search Greater Challenge for Female Veterans

Last October, Oprah did a special highlighting the struggles of female veterans transitioning out of the military into civilian life.

Marine Sgt. & Father-to-be Needs Your Help

I think I can…I know WE can!

The last week or so has been one of ups, downs and in one case a back flip. The back flip would have been performed by yours truly, although fortunately no one was watching and nothing was broken.
