Helmets to Hardhats
Source: Marine Corps Moms Web site
Here's an excellent transitional support site for Marines returning to civilian life. A new federally-funded program called Helmets to Hardhats will help those with military experience find work in civilian construction trades that are experiencing labor shortages.
Retired USMC Major General Matthew Caulfield and his son Dan Caulfield who served as a Marine Corps officer during the Persian Gulf War are the program's principal organizers. They believe that military people are uniquely qualified to reinforce the construction industry.
Major General Caulfield remarked; "We need people to maintain our infrastructure, our roads and bridges and dams. The way we're going, in 10 years we won't have enough iron workers. What better source of people to bring into the construction industry than those who have already been trained in the military?"
The discipline and leadership skills attained during military service transfer well to the civilian world. Please pass this message along to Marines and other troops who are reentering civilian life.
