That would be very interesting SSG Ricardo Marcial.
How about initiating a virtual Nationwide Veteran Job Fair?

SSG Ricardo Marcial - This article is un-****ing-believable. To SrA Christopher Wright's point below, there was an apparent "marketing" problem. It is unfathomable to read the numbers of RP members alone are looking for work. Kroger rolls out the red carpet... and ...(wait for it) ...nothing. I was out to a construction site this morning: The subcontractors can't source labor; I walked by strip-mall with "Help Wanted" signs in every other window; and we still have people "looking" for work. WTH, over?

Capt Mark Strobl - , We are talking a grocery store here. Not exactly prime employment. I also would pass, as in Wi this is pays about $9/hour .
