<br>
I took advantage of a one week entrepreneur course put on by the
Kaufmann Foundation for veterans. It was geared to help veterans
become independent business owners and was a very good deal.<br>
<br>
In this case, as was pointed out, there is a bit of a problem with
veterans who have been doing the nation's dirty work so the 98%
can live in ignorance. This is a great opportunity to reskill in
a trade that has a shortage. We all know big companies are
importing IT labor because of a "shortage" and now we can
alleviate that shortage with American labor. Having worked with
former military and non-military alike in the IT field, I would
rather have a vet on my team than a non-vet because they've put up
with horrid work conditions and are team players.<br>
<br>
As far as TV goes - really?!?!? You mean you can't hack the NSA
with a hydra through a backdoor while a gun is pointed at your
head and Ginger (Halle Berry) working her wiles on your manparts
in under 59 seconds? When it comes to guns and IT, there's
reality and there's Hollywood and a very large gap in between.
I'm at the point now where I won't watch anything put out by
Hollywood that involves either one.<br>

men and women in the service who are returning home to a country
with a horrible unemployment rate. These guys will likely come
home and have to get on welfare or be supported by some other
means. This will likely be a good thing, as education for a
working class is always a good thing, and the IT field is sorely
lacking in "trained" professionals.</p>

many of these shows on T.V. such as Alias (my personal favorite)
and 24 and a myriad of others, all have these awesome IT guys
that can do anything and get information on anyone in a moments
notice, all without a care in the world about the possibility of
violating privacy rights... Hmmm. Whom better could we get to
develop such a system, or *run* such a system with little to no
thought about violating rights than a group of people whom are
already potentialy brainwashed and indebted to the government.</p>

Veterans</span><br>
<br>
The Department of Veteran Affairs has launched a
game-changing program--to educate Veterans with no prior
computer and network experience to the level of
Information Technology experts in a matter of months.
This program is open to Active Duty Veterans as well as
Veterans of the Reserves and National Guard, from every
branch of the service. Registration is still open for
three remaining classes; they begin in the end of
June/early July, 2013. <br>
<br>
After completing the school in Palo Alto, CA, Veterans
will be ready for placement in Information Tech and
System Administrator jobs in many industries such as
health care, insurance, finance, telecomm, energy, and
more. We are working closely with our Fortune 500
corporate partners to ensure that each of our students
will graduate with high-value, high-wage employment
opportunities. <br>
<br>
This totally immersive school is a five-month commitment
and a residential program. Full scholarships are
provided to each attending Veteran to cover all tuition,
materials, room, and board. The scholarships are
separate from your GI Bill and Pell Grants, and DO NOT
AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR THOSE PROGRAMS. <br>
<br>
REGISTER NOW for June and July, 2013 classes at <a
