What he said.
Simply being a veteran gives you access to a HUGE network that can open doors at places that would normally be impossible to break into without having access to an ivy league pedigree, political connections, or such. The catch is that you need to hustle aggressively to get those jobs. One of my best veteran mentors told me that I needed to be flying out to a certain major city every Friday if I could in order to meet people.
You have some of us here who know what to do, and I'm offering you time out of my personal schedule to help one on one. I'll just need to see that you actually have done some of those things after the first time we talk.
