I also think there should be a more centralized hiring process at the local installations to assist in getting contract and GS jobs for the veterans that are planning on remaining in the local area of the installation, because if they are being put out due to RIF, at least help them back on their feet for the civilian side of their second careers.  </p><p><br></p><p>And for the 2nd part, no it is not being done nor is enough to help the transition of RIF or retirees from the military by the Army/DOD/VA at all.</p>
