December 27, 201212 yr I've been thinking that a large, upcoming problem will be the downsizing of the Military with a weak economy. Expectations are a million folks in the next few years will transfer from Military life to Civilian life. Here's one of the efforts to help with education/housing/jobs, etc. https://www.gotyour6.org/ It's spearheaded by the entertainment industry- not normally our biggest supporters. Good on them though. I do find the comment on helping our service members return to be "assets" rather than "liabilities" offensive.
December 27, 201212 yr Here's another transition service: https://www.vetnethq.com/ This one is by google.
December 27, 201212 yr Author Millions? "More than one million service members ... over the next five years". That's a quote from the website. I didn't fact check that number; I agree it sounds high. However, whatever the number you can bet it's going to be many, and the problem remains. We've got a ton of people out of work. This will add to it. Edited December 27, 201212 yr by BlackKnight

However, whatever the number you can bet it's going to be many, and the problem remains. We've got a ton of people out of work. This will add to it. I bet if you added up the number of people who leave the military after their intial enlistment/commitment plus the number of people retiring it's probably pretty close to 200,000 a year. As long as we don't do something stupid, like drive the economy off a fiscal cliff, everything should be fine.
