Observing a trend in the military: personnel gain social media spotlight during high-profile positions, notably on birthdays. Yet, as they transition to roles with less visibility, the spotlight dims. Let’s celebrate the dedication and service beyond titles; every role contributes to the strength of our armed forces. 🎉🇳🇬 #MilitaryService #BeyondTitles #BeyondAppointments 🦅

There are too many stigmas and misconceptions that surround service life and especially towards those who've served in the front line 'teeth arms' such as the Army or the Marines. Of course you can't come back from conflict without it affecting you in some way, large or small, but that doesn't mean we should look upon Veterans as more of a risk than anyone else. Sadly for reasons more to do with the media's portrayal of Veterans I think too many recruiters overlook them unfairly. Yes I've served and yes I've served on active deployments so you may think I'm biased in some way but I also know what Veterans bring to the table! Like civilians we're all of mixed ability but given aspects of an ex service persons character should never be overlooked and employers would be foolish to do so. I look at my industry - rail. It is ideal for Veterans and it's true quite a few enter the industry. I think as an industry we can do a lot more to attract these high calibre people, from station grades all the way up to senior technical and managerial positions, after gaining the necessary grounding in the industry. So what do Veterans bring to the table? Amongst many things it's trainability, an aptitude for quick learning, a respect for rules and regulations that are safety critical, self discipline, smart and professional appearance and bearing, excellent timekeeping, an ability to be anywhere at a given time and being able to work in unpleasant environments. On top of this many are highly experienced instructors, mentors and managers whilst others come from technical backgrounds. In short, total professionalism and employability. I would urge all of my network and those not currently on it to look again at your recruiting strategy, or indeed your own attitudes to ex service personnel and consider what these men and women can do for your organisation and the added value they bring.
