    US Army corps of engineers! The civilian side of the army runs the lakes and rivers across this nation and it is a wonderful opportunity for veterans to smile going to work and still smiling when you come home. Veterans preference!

  7. Scott T MacDonald February 23, 2023 at 19:13

    Thank you very much

    • Phillip February 27, 2023 at 17:17

      Well, I am a disabled Vet prior to 9/11. I have tons of experience in various fields. Do you have any programs that all Veterans are able to apply for?

  8. Rob February 23, 2023 at 17:24

    So less then 10% conversion on the ACP program… oh, and the “ESTIMATED” average salary… so in other words, we just guessing. This is offensive to veterans and should be scrutinized more before publishing. Just another scam non-profit with terrible results but high salaries for the board members.

  15. Matt Ovaska February 23, 2023 at 13:33

    No one would hire a Vietnam veteran. and now it’s to late. Don’t tell them you’re a vet and you might get hired.

    • Daniel Mendelsohn March 2, 2023 at 13:46

      This is truer than it should be, and not just for Vietnam veterans.

  16. Tamara Brown February 23, 2023 at 10:38

    Are veteran’s who have been out of the military for many years eligible as well? My husband and I are both veteran’s looking for better jobs but we are not post 9/11 veteran’s.

  17. Ken M. February 23, 2023 at 09:59

    • Cel February 23, 2023 at 15:38

      Please visit your Texas Workforce Solutions online and put in your zip code. You will see a list of offices near you. Select one and fill out their information card. Ask to speak with either the veteran representative or the education representative. They can help you assess your employment capabilities and get you placed. If you need other assistance, like gas cards, or help filling out a form, you can call 2-1-1 from anywhere in Texas and they can give you assistance providers near you (that number is for United Way Texas). Again, give your zip code for resources near you. Be sure to identify yourself as a veteran as they may have other veteran-related services to help you. Good luck!

    Why are veterans prior to 9/11 not eligible?

  22. David W Partee Sr February 23, 2023 at 05:34

    The PTSD program at fort roots, AR. AA/NA recovery assistance ie. Rehab centers are in my opinion, one of the best places ever to get results from recovery.. learning about coping with trauma in war and allow directly affected coping per atrocity inccured during/from combat. Focus breathing for example, nature walks, groups from all armed forces sharing experiences with one another; to feel like you’re not alone ? was one of those great breakthroughs in my pride armorer… (Suck it up! Drive on! IF you can’t get it for yourself? It’s not meant to have!!) Was a hinder in thinking Post combat. Until those programs @ NLR Fort roots, AR. Changed my life ? forever ♾️.thx Tulsa Ok

      • Edward gray February 24, 2023 at 08:48

        Could you send me a list of job opportunities you have available?

  29. Donald Keltner February 22, 2023 at 19:51

    do you have any work at home connections for older veterans that still need to work?

  30. Vernon Estes February 22, 2023 at 19:42

    I look forward to hearing from you

  31. Demetra Brown February 22, 2023 at 19:02

    It seems to be that post war veterans are the priority which I find to be discriminatory. I served in the military, although not during time of war, I have never received the treatment this group of veterans has been given. I’m glad they are not being forgotten but other veterans are still struggling to find their place in work society. Please help all veterans that need assistance with employment.

    • Scott February 28, 2023 at 15:47

      The Montgomery GI bill was around prior to the 2000’s and the post 9/11 bill. I can’t remember the deadline to redeem those benefits but check into that, you likely paid into it to receive it. Unless you’re talking about serving prior to 85, then in that case you’re going to have to find a non-profit to help.

  32. Mark Thompson February 22, 2023 at 19:02

    What if I am currently disabled with severe depression and PTSD? Can I still use ACP to help me get back in a career?

  33. Mark Thompson February 22, 2023 at 18:59

    How does VA help someone start farming? Is this available through ACP program?

  34. SHARON February 22, 2023 at 18:11

    I am a 100 disabled veteran who has not been gainfully employed in some time. I want to know if the program has realistic remote jobs and or training for people like me
