I don't agree.  Being a veteran, and receiving an honorable discharge, says something about you.  It shows you have what it takes to make it through basic training (not easy), it says you have work ethic and know how to work as a team, it shows you have courage and that you understand chain of command.  These are qualities that others may not have or have not proven to have. [/quote]
And how does it show you can do the job successfully as an accountant, contract specialist, program analyst, etc. I mean if the job was for example a federal LEO getting through basic camp and the other nonsense you wrote might be applicable to the job. But come on you’re not being honest when you say just being a proven team player qualifies you and should garner extra hiring points. A lacrosse captain is a good team player does that qualify for extra points in hiring. Lol[/quote]
