Study shows  job prospects for Iraq War veterans are slim as many struggle to relate their unique war experience to well-paying jobs
by Andrea Zelinski

Tyler Carroll uses what he learned in the military every day.

Carroll, a 27-year-old Afghanistan veteran from Rock Island, spent five months carrying out missions like taking control of airfields and capturing top terrorist lieutenants.

Now he's securing crime scenes and arresting troublemakers as a police officer in Burlington, Iowa.

Carroll came home from Afghanistan in 2002 knowing exactly where he wanted to take his career. But many veterans aren't immediately following through after they come home from war, according to a report the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs published in September.

The company started to implement a new quality program and internal audit process to assure maximum quality and corporate efficiency in all its activities. In its drive to uplift the company to new levels of performance, SSG enjoyed the services of several business consultants.

War veterans find employment through new programs 
by Jim Casey, Peninsula Daily News

From the sun-scorched Iraqi desert with deadly enemies all around to a misty forest glade surrounded by silent trees — the transformation sounds too good to believe.

But it's among benefits belonging to the state's Veterans Conservation Corps, designed to help vets return to civilian life.

It started three years ago for Vietnam War vets with post-traumatic stress disorder but has widened to include all veterans, whether or not they are disabled.

And the program of the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs could get bigger and better still.

Ed Bowen of Lake Ozette is Clallam and Jefferson counties' VCC field coordinator, and Jeff Reyes is his Kitsap County counterpart, although he lives in Clallam County.

Both are high on the program that can put vets to work outdoors and — if they want — to take nine months of environmental training that can lead to higher employment...
