Thank you very much
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?
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.
Looking for full time.

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

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?
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
I am a retired business professional. How do I find out more about mentorship opportunities?

Keith – if you are still licensed, please send your resume to recruiting@allin-solutions.com.
Could you send me a list of job opportunities you have available?
do you have any work at home connections for older veterans that still need to work?
I look forward to hearing from you
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.
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.
