No offence taken here, Scott. I just ask that you and other employers quit
looking at my resume and rejecting me flatly BECAUSE I am ex-military,
totally disregarding the ten years of experience I have gained SINCE.

Connie,
With apologies to Charles Rich, I couldn't agree more strongly. When I was
hiring manager at a company in California, the ex-military types I
encountered were exactly as you describe them - I couldn't have said it
better. I never met one I would have hired. Incidently, the military types
hired by other departments within the company were typically re-assigned, as
they were too inflexible to do the job they were hired to do.
