Regardless of your stance on the war, you have to respect
the brave men and women serving in our armed forces. It is easy for us to sit back and argue about
who said what and when we need to get out, but our soldiers are faced with very
real life and death situations on a day-to-day basis, and it is a shame that
many of them encounter considerable difficulty when seeking employment upon
their return from duty. Troops 2 Truckers hopes to make the
transition back into civilian life a little smoother by providing our soldiers with
solid jobs in the trucking industry.
Troops 2 Truckers is operated by retired military servicemen
and women and is currently running at USMC Camp Pendleton and MCAS Miramar,
CA. The program provides on-base
training with the aim of providing participants with both a CDL and a job
immediately upon completion. T2T has
partnered with industry leaders to ensure that soldiers who participate in the
program are making an investment in their future. It is a refreshingly active response to an
issue that most seem content to just argue about.
