I have been preparing, but my preparation isn’t going to save me. I have already been laid off twice since 2009. Those layoffs hurt me bad, but I made it through. There is no way I can make it through another layoff. There are many other veterans like me that will get screwed. Defense companies recruit us because of our skills, and our work ethic. There are not alot of civilian sector companies out there that are eager to hire a 47 year old retired Marine GySgt with no college degree even though I have more experience than many of their engineers.
“There is no way ...” bull! You’re going to do it so there is a way.
I wish I was 47 again- and had the skills of a Marine seargent to boot!
And, again, I’m sorry the voters are such fools.
Did you ever consider why so few companies want to hire career govt. workers? A high percentage of govt. workers are EEO hires drinking coffee and doing little else except trying to prevent work from getting done by the contractors.
