I found that this is a great tool to connect with others to find friends you served with, network, and look for opportunities. Just wondering what the majority is

I have an international corporation in growth mode and I am really, really tired of having to work with civilian businessmen and associates who have absolutely no sense of honor, dignity, or ethics. There are hundreds of thousands of my brothers and sisters in arms out there who have more ethics, dignity, and honor in their toe nail clippings than some of these civilian businessmen; and I'm nearly positive we can find a few thousand to meet our needs and theirs, including disabled vets, over the next 2 years. RP is a good place to gather data, take the pulse of the community, and "troll" for some bios to hand to HR.

MAJ Z: We have been very quiet about our products and the technology. They would take you to Irwin and back without recharging and the cost of fuel would be $0. However, that is not the government way (I'm not being cynical) of moving troops.

SPC Pradeep K: The future of electric buses of other manufacturers is bleak. They use lithium batteries which are expensive, heavy, and tend to catch fire. Our buses don't really have a range limitation per say: they can drive a minimum of 27 hours. I haven't seen an electric vehicle anywhere that can go more than 300 miles and ours can go 10 times that. If my vehicles can cross the US with recharging and cost less than carbon fueled vehicles, you decide what their future is. 


You are correct about HR and dignity and ethics, EXCEPT that I am the chairman and CEO of this group of companies and HR will do what they are told! We are using your responses from RP to make sure our HR doesn't screw this up and we don't screw up the civilian job and careers of a lot of vets. As a retiree myself I've been rolled over by a number of employers. That is life in the "world". However, this employer is going to do his level best not to roll over the aspiration of his brothers and sisters in arms.


What MOS's do we need? All of them! We manufacture, assemble, sell, and maintain our vehicles (not just buses) worldwide. We have contracts to build 4 factories on 4 different continents right now. I need FAOs, engineers, mechanics, medical people, pilots, security, accountants, logisticians, account managers, communications people, you name it. But most of all we need people who can get the job done!


Apologies for the long response.

Maj Parker,

I see a lot of potential for fully-electric buses in developing countries. In some cities, electric lines cannot be used for buses in densely populated areas. For example, Quito, Ecuador, power lines cannot be used in the historical district. Gasoline-powered buses release exhaust into the historical district, and the historical district smells of exhaust, and the buildings are covered in residue. Other countries with congested cities can benefit from the technologies. We need more green technology like this.

I joined to find other's in the services who may be looking for someone of my strengths. I have had little to no success in finding help within my own unit at the company or battalion level for retention. So I figured I have about a year left to make connections to stay or be out the door. Better to be proactive than reactive in my opinion.
