How Can Veterans Become A Small Business Owner?

Throughout history, many veterans suffer after fighting in wars, and millions of veterans have been killed or injured. Veterans do not necessarily get the treatments they deserve without paying a price. Taking care of veterans costs a lot and health care is needed for them. They need health care after serving, in order to treat their problems and injuries. Jobs are also important to veterans because they are jobless after fighting in wars, which leads them to be homeless. It is important for people who need help to get help. As of right now, the government has attempted to help veterans, but it may not be enough.

Serving the United States Military comes with many responsibilities as well as pressure and accountability. However, the military isn’t for everyone, but it offers so much for those who serve. One thing that must be known and dealt with is that this career could be a life threatening one, and there are many obstacles one must go through beforehand.

Federal contracts or subcontracts of the unenclosed amount of money to hire veterans. Many companies want performance so maybe they can help them and everyone else works hard at their job. According to (cf. Bureau of Labor Statistics 1ff.), 76% of veterans are jobless. Veterans can adapt to new situations because they are taught to adjust to circumstances as well as we are. ''Business leaders are mainly concerned with one thing; performance'', said Schultz. People should stop thinking about titles and think about people's actions. Veterans should get justice because people discriminate them. Some may say veterans shouldn't get any special consideration because they get precedence on jobs anyways so why to get special consideration also. But that's because they have done something special for the country, so why not get

Outside of tax incentives (Dewitte, 2013), there are many benefits to hiring veterans in your workforce. From first hand experience, I have seen the dedication to mission, unwavering focus, drive, initiative, motivation, and standards of excellence that many veterans practice. As the daughter of a 23-year, twice deployed, disabled Army veteran and now a wife to a twice-deployed, career Army husband, I can attest to these characteristics and believe they make most veterans extremely valuable assets for an organization. Other important quality veterans bring to the table is their leadership capabilities, practical on-the-job training and experience (Dewitte, 2013), the ability to collaborate and work in teams, ability to work in stressful environments, and experience with workforce diversity.

There are numerous reasons as to why corporations are choosing to not hire military veterans. There are two sets of reasons: one being the reasons that corporations tell the public and, two being what they truly mean but will not announce freely to the public. In the article, “5 Reasons Why Employers Are Not Hiring Vets” by Lisa Nagorny and Dan Pick, student veterans at Wharton’s MBA for Executives program, Nagorny and Pick discuss the interviews they conducted with 87 individuals and 69 companies. At the end of their study, they concluded five main reasons on why employers do not hire veterans. Those reasons came down to being: skill translation; negative stereotypes; skill mismatch; concern

A 2013 study aimed to characterize the ability of veterans to reintegrate into civilian life on the basis of their employment status, earnings, and college enrollment (Kleykamp, 2013). To do so, information from the Current Population Survey data was retrieved and analyzed for years 2005 to 2011 (Kleykamp, 2013). It was determined that female veterans are less likely to be employed than male veterans (Kleykamp, 2013). Furthermore, white veterans are less likely to be employed than black veterans (Kleykamp, 2013). Interestingly, more veterans are enrolled in college and these individuals earn more when they are employed (Kleykamp, 2013). This indicates that it is necessary to consider the context of unemployment in terms of different demographic groups because some members of the veteran population are more likely to suffer from unemployment than

There are a lot of graduates fresh out of high schools that make the decision to use the military. There are some people that join the military because that is a fast and easy choice for them. The military gives everyone a wide variety of options. College for instance, the military allows you to serve your country and still have time to attend college and get a degree if you choose to do that. People that choose to join the military get the option to go to college anytime they feel during their military career. The military pays for part or all the tuition. The military has four different branches, Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. Each branch offers different trades. Air Force for example, teaches people to fly, have mechanical skills,

Background: The Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is a business with a history imbedded in the US Army and Air Force for over 120 years. AAFES initially started with a General order creating 46 stores for soldiers to use in 1895. AAFES has continued to grow and expand its influence throughout the last 120 years into a global business, with a direct mission to support the Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors through their company’s mission and vision for the future. The corporate structure of the AAFES is quite similar to most global companies. The company has a Chief Execute Officer (CEO) who reports to a Board of Directors. The composition of the board of directors is different; all members of the board of directors are active serving members of the United States armed services. The main goal of AAFES is stated in their vision, mission and motto. The mission of AAFES is “We go where you go to improve the quality of life through the goods and services we provide.” And the vision is “To be the preferred retail and services provider for the military family through extraordinary customer service and value pricing.” (About the Exchange. n.d.) AAFES tried to bring American products to service members wherever they are serving, to include Iraq, Afghanistan, on board naval ships and foreign nations.

I do belive serving this country is an important thing . There is no way anybody in the United States of America could ask for a better military but what are we fighting for ?. In the first paragraph it states " adults between the ages of 18 and 30 should be required to complete one year of national service " and I disagree strongly. Not so much about having everyone serve a year, it's more about the conflicts america has with other countries when we have war happening on our very own soil.

A person of interest that sparks spirit, and innovativeness, to change and improve the process with a vision by risk taking, is General George S. Patton Jr., or also known as Mr. Blood and Guts. The reason this individual draws my attention is a long history with my psyche, in that, I can remember playing him in the sandbox with my friends as a child, and later in life, during a time of reevaluation of my methods, taking a Myers and Briggs test I took that measured a person’s personality. This test concluded that I possess five percent of the population’s personality, in that it was more comparable to charismatic General Patton, as an ESTP or Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perception (the Entrepreneur) type. A few others who fall into this personality type is Alexander the Great, John F. Kennedy, and

Most Military Soldiers believe that when they get out of the Military and start a business that there is only one type of business they can own. They also believe that they will not have any problems in achieving their own business goals and will have stability in that business. This is why they have to set long and short term goals. Look at privately owned business vs. government owned business and the pros and cons of making your choice of business. When making that choice of either business type education level, wages, benefits, and total compensation are an affecting factor to a positive or negative outcome.
