> I hadn't ever considered veteran resources aside from the medical aspect. I guess discounts and close parking are resources, although I had always sort assumed those were marketing tools aimed at conservatives rather than resources.

These help those with mobility issues be able to access stores easier, especially during transition from active to civilian while paperwork may be holding back a handicap tag. And yeah, there are many varied aspects to the military MOS's, so I tried to list generalities. I included colleges because I have experience at MSU and OTC, and both have veteran specific admission offices to make getting GI bills processed correctly go smooth. I have had online colleges that couldn't pull their head out of their ass and process anything, so paid for my one semester of classes and left them before, because the headaches with that just aren't worth it.

Medical around here, I will say you don't have a lot of good access to Mental health and what you do will mostly be teleconference due to high turnover. Don't get comfy with a therapist they will usually be gone within a year and you will spend the next trying to get the overworked new therapist caught up on your history.

careers in the area are basically truck driving, medical(hospital work), education, and warehouse. everything else is retail and food industry. I did hear they needed diesel mechanics a while back at a few shops, but don't know if thats still true.

>In fact, it describes skills so vaguely that I thought it was code for something that only veterans know about.

Yes, we really are just asking how the hookers and blow situation is. Lots of young college kids that will chase a uniform and I'm sure someone can find some nose candy. /s
