IIRC, it took us between and hour and 90 minutes to get there from Austin. Trouble is, that won't really work. The soldiers' family members tend to have those jobs locked up.
Now, on a serious note, you may be able to find young veterans in your area. Look up the names and office locations of defense contractors in the Austin area. They frequently hire separating first-termers for their current knowledge of military systems. You can target your job search in those areas of town.
I've heard that one of our competitors in the Austin area has recently hired a half-dozen or so veterans in the last 6 months or so.
I'll see what I can find. I know a lot of the guys from Hood come down to 6th to party so..that may up my odds a bit.
