Did you know that nearly 70% of working-age Americans who are blind or visually impaired (BVI) are unemployed? Envision, as a National Industries for the Blind associated agency, is striving to change this statistic by advocating for a 1% utilization goal for the U.S. AbilityOne Commission by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). If this 1% goal is met, it would open the door for thousands of people who are BVI to have more employment opportunities through the National Industries for the Blind and its affiliated agencies, like Envision.

Calling all Military Spouses! Make your voice heard! Did you know?? DoD just opened the 2024 Survey of Active Duty Spouses. The survey asks for your perspectives on military life to include the relocation process. Your feedback is critical as we transform DoD’s household goods program. In the last survey, we heard you - 3 of the top 10 PCS concerns were: Settling household goods claims, Coordinating with moving companies, and Timeliness of receiving household goods Our focus in 2023 on missed deliveries resulted in a 20% improvement, but there is more work to do as late HHG deliveries in 2023 averaged 11 days. You can complete the survey at https://lnkd.in/dmDVR_j8 #pcs #milspo #militaryspouse #hhg #militaryrelocation

USTC pick to handle the majority of military moves, why doesn't Qaulity matter anymore? Who runs USTC? Are you not concerned about the welfare of our troops? Then act like it and award moves based on quality and not paperwork compliance Complaint Type: Problems with Product/Service Status: UnansweredMore info I have been waiting well over 30 days for Tier One Relocation to reimburse almost 800$ for my house hold goods that were damaged in my move. I have contacted the customer service number weekly, left voicemails and sent emails to the claims department. Almost two weeks ago someone from claims FINALLY answered and told me they just needed my updated address (they already had it) to resend the check. Two weeks later and nothing. And now I cannot get them back on the phone or to respond to my email. This is absolutely absurd and the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced with a military move. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

President, Author, and Hall-of-Fame Speaker (Respect Culture, Consent, Sexual Assault Prevention, Bystander Intervention). Plus Speaking and Presentation Coach for Authors, Executives, and Entrepreneurs.
Consent is more than just permission. "Okay, there are more support systems and resources available that if I have been done wrong to, I might feel safer. So, the DOD every year has to give reports on annual sexual assault, harassment and assault numbers. And the numbers go up, and the media sees that and goes crazy. And says, oh my gosh, the military has more sexual assaults happening now than ever before in the history of the military. Is that a true statement? We don't know that at all. What we actually know is more people have reported, which could be an indication we actually have better systems of support than ever before. And more people are coming forward than ever before. Because we're creating a more supportive system through the SAPR program. Which, by the way, if you look, that's probably more likely what's happening. Doesn't mean there still isn't problems going on, but there's more support. So yes, people can feel safer. Doesn't mean everybody does, but there are more people likely to feel safer." 👉 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gntE7Q4Q #CenterForRespect #MikeDomitrz #Culture #Respect

This post isn't just for my military and law enforcement teammates. It's an appeal to everyone. (To the 7 people left at Twitter/X - looking at you. You have access to Elon, and it's safe to say, he owes us one.) To say that your help is the difference between life and death - that is not hyperbole. I have personally received too many messages and calls saying we've lost yet another teammate and friend to suicide. You've seen the statistics. Dozens of veterans and first responders take their own lives each day. For countless others, every day is met with torment and darkness. The silent whispers promising escape, and inevitably by this time tomorrow, dozens more chairs will be empty at dinner tables across the nation. At Shields & Stripes, we are the armor for these men and women. Surrounding them with love and a full-spectrum of healthcare, therapy, fitness & nutrition programs, and countless other services. We turn statistics into stories of recovery, of resilience, of life reborn ⭐ at no cost to the program participants ⭐ 👉 Each program is funded by donations, and unlike many similar programs, we can assure you that 100% of donations go toward essential program services - Shields & Stripes team salary is exactly $0.00. To make the next programs happen, we need help from you, your network, your company. Visit Shieldsandstripes.org and please, donate today. #veterans #firstresponders #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #donate #ShieldsandStripes
