    Using Your GI Bill? What You Should Look for in a College or University!

    May 10, 2011 /

    Recently I had an interesting request from a respected university that is on several military installations. What would you recommend for a college seeking to improve its veteran outreach? I spent some time before the meeting to relive my experiences and look at current issues and came up with some brainstorm ideas for them! Now I’d like to turn these ideas around for our readers who are considering going back to school, getting a new degree or using their GI Bill to expand job opportunities after their service time! To be the best prepared student and get the best return on your dollar (a lot of blood, sweat and tears,…

    The Debt Commission Proposal – Do They Know We Are Fighting America’s Wars?

    November 19, 2010 /

    I don’t usually write blogs about subjects that make me mad but the recent efforts in Washington to find federal budget reduction items just got my dander up! Why? Because they fall square on the back of military families that are at war! I try to keep up with events that affect our troops and their families and this one is at top of the light pole for me! Have you heard of the commission put in place by the President, called very appropriately, The Debt Commission? Actually, its full name is the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform and it has a website at http://www.fiscalcommission.gov/ which outlines its…

    Is this the End? or Perhaps Just the Beginning!

    May 28, 2010 /

    May is coming to a close and although Memorial Day brings us to the end of Military Appreciation Month I think I speak for all military-families when I say it shouldn’t be limited to one month. I appreciate the military every day, every month, all year. Actually, come to think of it, that is a major premise behind MilitaryAvenue.com. It is an avenue for the business-community to show appreciation not just on the major holidays, like Memorial Day and Veterans Day … and even Military Spouse Appreciation Day… but all year. But I don’t think that because May is ending that it is the end of appreciation. I think it…
