"Deploying back home can be every bit as challenging as a foreign
deployment....if you don't have the right training " "With the army
cutting brigades at a dozen bases around the country as well as
cuts across the entire military, this information is vital "
Rucksack to Briefcase: a civilian-side job-hunting guide for
service members and their families. As a veteran returning from a
tour in Iraq, I was faced with the challenge of transition back to
the civilian work force. Like many veterans, I learned it can be
difficult whether you've served six months, two years, or an entire
career in the military. There was not a single, simple guide that
gave me the tools necessary to make it a smooth transition to
obtain civilian employment. So, after achieving success myself, I
created this short guide to address the unique challenges service
members face when going from rucksack to briefcase. It includes
insights, information and ideas for Creating the perfect resume

Born in California on December 28th, 1923, Lloyd Glick was a naive
18-year-old boy watching a movie at a theater in downtown Berkeley
on Dec 7 1941, when they stopped the movie to announce Japan's
bombing of Pearl Harbor. A few days after the attack, Lloyd,
already an accomplished trumpet player as 2nd Trumpet Chair for the
University of California Symphony, took his desire to serve his
country, his passion for music, and his dream of attending the
prestigous US Naval School of Music, and showed up at the Navy
recruiting office in San Francisco. Four months later, with his
parents' signed permission, he joined the United States Navy as a
way of entering their prestigious Naval School program. That
decision would ultimately land him the position of Musician Second
Class aboard the USS North Carolina as a member of the ship's band
while it participated in the bombings of Saipan, Guam, Palau,
Pohnpei, and battles throughout World War II's pivotal Pacific
Campaign. From Bugle Boy to Battleship is Lloyd's fascinating
account of his two years at sea, as well as his hero's welcome
return to visit the islands of Saipan and Guam 70 years later. From
Bugle Boy to Battleship includes the actual emails that also tell
the story of the unique relationship between Lloyd and his "tour
guide" --an author living on Saipan--who became inspired by their
correspondence to help Lloyd document his story for this and future
generations.
