[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 900707, member: 12570"] I can tell you for a fact that being a veteran helped me get hired at UPS. The district manager at the time was a vet and knew that the military mindset lent itself well to the mindset at UPS. Jones makes a good point--there are certain jobs in the military that simply don't translate well to civilian life; however, most employers know that most military veterans have many of the qualities they are looking for in potential employees and all other things being equal are more likely to hire a vet. Now, and this may not be the most PC thing to say, we need to keep in mind that the military does not always attract the cream of the crop. It wasn't too long ago that judges would offer the military as an option to incarceration. There are some folks that I was stationed with whom I would not want to work with. [/QUOTE]
