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.

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...
