As an asthmatic teenager in the 1950s, I longed for a life in a
place more exotic and warm for my condition than the then dreary
Britain. National Service seemed to offer such a chance to a
stockbroker's clerk (office boy) such as me. It did. I ended up,
after disappointments danger and drama, in Egypt. What could be
more exciting to an 18 year old than the land of the Pharaohs,
pyramids and permanent (almost) sun? Adventures and misadventures
abounded there for me. I have tried to relate them in an as amusing
a narrative as possible. Come with me on this sometimes hilarious,
sometimes disastrous journey.
We've all heard the axiom that "people" are the greatest asset in
every organization. But are all people "equal"? Designed to be a
bit edgy, this book reveals how some people - today's Veterans -
often bring more positive to the table than their civilian-trained
constituents and how this difference is a benefit to the
organization. Navy veteran Mike Schindler, Founder and CEO of
Operation Military Family, tells the stories of our returning
heroes so that we might gain a true understanding of life for
returning vets and their families. While addressing some of the
hardships of returning vets, Schindler also reveals another side of
America's heroes the side that celebrates the triumphs and hirable
qualities offered by our veterans including: A Strong Work Ethic A
Positive Attitude The Willingness to Do More Strong Job
Preparedness Being Solution Minded High Energy U.S. Veterans in the
Workforce sheds light on the American heroes who come home to new
heroic endeavors the ones that make America worth fighting for. It
creates a bridge between the military and civilian divide and helps
both veterans and civilians understand how their differences
contribute to the overall vision.
