if you're good enough for Uncle Sam, you're good enough for us!

I have really enjoyed the articles you've been including in DC VELOCITY about the military logistics efforts [of] our forces. I left the military in the late 1980s and always felt that the scope of my logistics knowledge and experience was underappreciated. The Outbound column (July 2005, page 122) really resonated [with] me. The criticality of logistics efforts when [carried out] under conflict and the planning and training necessary to carry on [in that] environment is what sets the military logistician apart from the rest.

A couple of months ago, a hiring manager for a big company in the Midwest told me that his recent Iraq vet hires were making a big impact. They knew how to get things done.

Thank you for making a connection between the military and the supply chain profession and thus, for supporting the troops. Who won't want to hire these guys and gals when they hit the job market?
