"I believe the best way to get a reasonable assessment of the readability of your resume is to ask a disinterested civilian for their opinion. Civilians who routinely hire veterans know enough of the language to decipher our resumes. Similarly,…"

Describing 20 years in the Air Force
In April, 2009, I went over the 20-year mark in the US Air Force. I entered during the culmination of the cold war, saw Desert Storm unfold, was in Port au Prince, Haiti the day after the invasion was recalled after takeoff. I've been to Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Djibouti (Africa), Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Kuwait, Qatar, and been stationed in Japan, Korea, Hawaii, and throughout the continental United States. Throughout that time I have been proud to be surrounded by people committed to integrity, to service before self, and to excellence in everything they do. They are men and women who are smart, talented, and upbeat in the most dire circumstances. Most of the complaints I heard were when things were easy and carefree.
It will be extremely difficult for me to leave the military. When I do leave, I'll be looking to either join or start an organization devoted to similar tasks, to provide service where service is difficult to get, to provide a product that is hard to deliver, and work with individuals who are motivated more by the mission than by the pay and benefits.

I feel like I'm the last person to read Hans Finzel's book, The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make. I picked up the book a while back and finally got to it. The book is a good essay on stumbling blocks that leaders make when they either grow or enter mid to large size organizations.…

The college drop out standing in front of you is living in an abandoned trailer, has been arrested more than five times for a variety of offenses, and is addicted to crack cocaine. Is he a lost cause or does he have near limitless potential? Read "Fearless" by Eric Blehm, which tells the story of…

I've learned a lot from Stephen Covey and his book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
This graph is particularly powerful. If you consider where you spend the majority of your time, if you don't live your life intentionally you'll find yourself bouncing between quadrant 1 and 4 continuously. It'll be crisis or garbage non-stop. By setting priorities and…

Andrew Mason's departure from Groupon will likely cement his name in the annals of business as one of the greatest ever. His memo, posted on an online site, was like hitting the reset button on both his name recognition and his reputation.
As I read the memo I couldn't help wondering if Mr. Mason would have changed anything in hindsight? Would he have sold the company to Google when the opportunity persented itself? I'd bet a lot of the IPO investors wished he had!

Thanks for the comment, and giving me some motivation. I've already started networking with forums, and other organizations in my state, and any help is appreciated. Once I get some products moving, I'll deff be looking at doing booths like you suggested. Thank you!

Insurance is important depending on the circumstances of each person. Have you ever heard of the "theory of decreasing responsibility?" Basically it states that the older one gets, the less responsibility one has, i.e. no mortgage, grown kids, etc... Now this is not always the case, so it depends on the specific needs of the individual and does your income still need to be protected, mortgage, debt, and college.
If you need insurance, then go with Term only. And of course only the amount of coverage that is specific to your needs. If you want more information then just let me know :)
