Thank you to all of our veterans for your service and sacrifice. Your courage, dedication, and patriotism have made our nation what it is today. On this Veterans Day, we honor all of the brave men and women who have served in the United States military. I want to take the time to recognize the qualities that make veterans valuable assets to any community. Veterans make great business owners for a number of reasons. They have the skills, experience, and mindset necessary to succeed in the business world. Here are some of the ways that veterans are well-suited to business ownership: Leadership skills: Veterans are trained to lead and motivate others. They know how to set goals, delegate tasks, and build strong teams. These are essential skills for any business owner. Problem-solving skills: Veterans are also skilled at problem-solving. They are used to dealing with complex challenges under pressure. This ability is essential for any business owner, who will inevitably face challenges along the way. Discipline and perseverance: Veterans are disciplined and hardworking. They are used to setting goals and achieving them, even in the face of adversity. This discipline and perseverance is essential for success in business. Integrity and values: Veterans are known for their integrity and values. They are honest, reliable, and trustworthy. These qualities are essential for any business owner, who must build trust with customers, employees, and investors. In addition to these skills and experiences, veterans also have a unique perspective on life and work. They have seen the world and experienced different cultures. They have also learned to work quickly and efficiently under pressure. These qualities give them a valuable advantage in the business world. #VeteransDay #HappyVeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #HonoringHeroes #SaluteToService #LandOfTheFreeBecauseOfTheBrave #HomeOfTheBrave #USA #Military #VeteransAppreciationDay #GratefulForVeterans #VeteransSupport

Happy Saturday . Smile 😊 I have seen a lot of posts about “ Corporate world and military world is different “ . How ? My opinion is my own : Is not different, we as veterans choose to be that way. We live in the past , we only hang out with veterans, and for everything we blame the corporate side or the military side. “ how broke we are , how this and that “ You left the military for a reason , is the past and a closed chapter. Stop living in the past and move on. If you have VA benefits , go see VA and get help , if you have civilian insurance go see civ Doc. Yes civilians will welcome you with open arms . They will support you . At the same time, work harder than everyone , do more than every one , smile , respect everyone , be humble, and you will be just fine. Is no different in the military , rank is earned ( the ones that have earned it ) , and respect is earned . Move on. You are in the civilian side or what ever we want to call it. I attended an event that made me think. The Veteran had more support from the civilians than his own community. This is the hard truth. Let me know what you think ? #military #veteranshelpingveterans #houstontexas #life #militaryveterans #transitioningmilitary #transitioning #militarylife #fourblock #vets2industry #nextop

Veterans Can - Ignore All Other Noise Military personnel are some of the most capable people on the planet. Why then when the uniform is removed do we get tarnished with a different brush? I have a theory - the military don’t want to lose their people so they tell them they’re only good in one environment and civilian employers often expect a Drill Sergeant Major to pitch up whenever they see military service on a CV. Both of these views are lazy. Veterans bring an intelligent view to operational and strategic initiatives and are able to implement them whenever and wherever they’re asked. They are also able to be part of a team, never forget that they have to get on with people for extended periods in hostile environments. That’s a skill in itself! As an Ambassador for JobOppO I’m delighted to be part of a movement that is working hard to change this narrative and make getting in to civilian employment easier and easier for veterans. Know your Veterans. Know that they Can. Onwards! (Phot - Proudly having this chat as President of The Old Hymerians Association with a can of Veterans Can…..see what we did there?!) #transitioningmilitary #leadership #networking #linkedin #veterans #military

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes on Veterans Day 🇺🇸 On Veterans Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women who have selflessly served in our nation's armed forces. Let's take a moment to explore the history and significance of this special day. Veterans Day is a federal holiday observed on November 11th of each year to honor all of America's veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Today, we celebrate and give thanks to all veterans for their service, sacrifices, courage, patriotism, and love of this country. Veterans Day is linked to the "Great War" or World War I, which ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. Originally, the holiday commemorated the armistice or cease-fire day that ended World War I between the Allies and Germany. President Wilson commemorated this day as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919. Armistice Day officially was ended by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954, and it became Veterans Day to commemorate American veterans of all wars. As we commemorate this day, we express our deepest gratitude to veterans for their service, valor, and resilience. We recognize the transferable skills and qualities they bring to the workforce. California Government Code section 12940 makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against or harass an employee because of their military or veteran status. In the unfortunate circumstance where veterans are subjected to discrimination or harassment in the workplace, our firm takes tremendous pride in advocating on their behalves. If you worked in California and believe you were subjected to discrimination or harassment at work because of your military or veteran status, contact us for a free case review at (424) 334-3194. We would love to hear from you! #VeteransDay #HonorOurHeroes #Veterans #Military #justice #employment #employeerights #work

The Secret to Success: Be Confident, not Arrogant We all know someone with an inflated sense of self-worth, right? Self-confidence is important, but arrogance is a different game. Some veterans bring an elitist attitude into their new civilian career, which can be unwarranted and unproductive. During the #militarytransition you’ll encounter civilians with inflated egos and a lack of skills and experience to support. You'll also discover some impressive individuals that never served in the military. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking all civilians don’t measure up to your elite standards. When you encounter these top-performers in your next career, my advice is to learn from them. This #veteran discovered their new corporate teammates were smart and dedicated. In fact, some civilians are just as dedicated, disciplined and motivated as the most elite military. As you build your network, be sure to learn from others (#mentors). Ask for feedback and adjust when translating skills and experiences. Here are resources to assist: https://lnkd.in/es_ahjKa #veterans #military 

Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service. Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11. It is a day to honor and express gratitude to all American veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The history of Veterans Day can be traced back to the end of World War I. On November 11, 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany, effectively ending World War I. The armistice took effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as Armistice Day, stating that it should be "filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory." Armistice Day was originally intended to honor the veterans of World War I, but it later evolved to honor all American veterans. In 1938, Armistice Day became a legal holiday, dedicated to the cause of world peace. However, after World War II and the Korean War, there was a desire to expand the holiday to honor all veterans who had served in the U.S. Armed Forces. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill into law officially changing the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. This change was made to honor all American veterans, both living and deceased, from all wars. Since then, Veterans Day has been observed annually on November 11. It is a day to pay tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of the men and women who have served in the U.S. military. Various ceremonies, parades, and events are held across the country to honor veterans and express gratitude for their service and sacrifice. #veterans #veteransday #veteransday2023 #military #Autumn #fall #harvest #sobel #logistics #supplychain #shipping #Internacional #business #International #Global #cargo #Transportation #freight #import #export #Ship #wca #×2 #ean #leadership #worldwide #GAA #latam #prolog #networking #company

For those that know, they know - for the rest of us we have to arm ourselves with knowledge and find the experienced hands out there to help us along. I see many - too many in my not so humble opinion - advertisements to assist Veterans to get "what they deserve" and achieve a 100% rating at the VA. Note: Not every Veteran is eligable for every service that the VA provides. Follow me as I start to slow walk through some of the misconceptions on obtaining VA benefits. Hint: Networking is key - are you in a network of Veterans helping Veterans? Or are you on the outside looking in? #elpaso #Veteran #retiredmilitary

🎉 As the year draws to a close, it's crucial for us to reflect on the significance of understanding the transition of veterans into the corporate world. 🪖 The phrase 'A soldier is just a trained civilian' holds profound importance in this context. We must acknowledge that our experiences in the military, while shaping us, do not entitle us to dismiss or belittle civilians in corporate settings. 🔍 Often, we may catch ourselves using phrases like 'bloody civilian' to vent our frustrations in the corporate world. However, it's essential to recognize that just as we tolerated certain aspects within the military, civilians also endure various governmental and systemic inefficiencies in their realm. 🛡️ Take, for instance, the recent 'Agnipath' scheme that took the armed forces by surprise. In the military, there are situations beyond our control that we accept with a pinch of salt. 🌟 Let's carry the resilience and adaptability we learned in service into the corporate arena, fostering understanding rather than using dismissive language. 💡 Empathy and collaboration, not division, pave the way for a more harmonious transition for veterans into civilian life. 🤝 Here's to a new year where we bridge the gap between our military experience and the corporate world with understanding and mutual respect. A soldier, fundamentally, is a civilian trained for a specific purpose. #happynewyear2024 #VeteransInCorporate #TransitionToCivilianLife #RespectAndUnderstanding
