How to Become a U.S. Defense Contractor




















Updated: March 28, 2019


The United States Government employs thousands of individual and corporate defense contractors every year. The Department of Defense, the various branches of the military, and the companies these agencies contract with employ thousands of people as security personnel, IT specialists, analysts, administrators, scientists, doctors, accountants, etc. The government also contracts with both large and small businesses to provide services and supplies that are used in every facet of maintaining the country’s defense. Breaking into defense contracting requires going through a lot of red tape, and can be difficult at first, but if you are motivated and able to obtain a security clearance, there are many opportunities to be had in the defense industry.

1
Become a U.S. Citizen. Almost all U.S. defense contractor positions require applicants to be United States citizens. If you are not a native citizen, you can go through the naturalization process to obtain your citizenship, which involves taking an extensive test on English and Civics.[1]

2
Be able to acquire security clearance. You cannot actually obtain a security clearance until you are employed in a government job, or have been sponsored by a company or agency who wishes to hire you. However, you should try to determine if you are eligible for clearance before you begin. If you have previously had a security clearance in the past, this is a good indicator that you will be able to obtain one again. The following are some of the factors that generally prevent a person from obtaining a security clearance:

    Past criminal convictions that lead to jail time of 1 year or more.
    Current use of illegal or controlled substances.
    A determination of mental incompetence by a DoD-approved mental health professional.
    A dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces.
    Unwillingness to surrender a foreign passport.
    Severe, repeated financial problems.
    Intentional false statements made in the application process.
    Repeated alcohol abuse.
    A pattern of criminal or conduct or rule violation.

VA Loma Linda Annual Mental Health Summit 2019


The Catholic high school that holds funerals for homeless veterans

Michael Kotsopulos



















Student at Catholic Memorial School in West Roxbury, Mass., serve at the funeral service for U.S. Army Veteran Timothy Fowl in January 2019 (Photo provided by author)
I am greeted by a wooden casket hoisted on the shoulders of eight high school basketball players as I enter the lobby of Catholic Memorial School in early January. An American flag covers the casket. At 8 a.m., I expect a tired expression across the face of each young man and wonder how they will navigate the halls to the narrow chapel.

How Much Money Does an Armed Security Guard Get Paid?

    How Much Money Does an Armed Security Guard Get Paid?
    by Rick Suttle





  2. A growing emphasis in personal safety has put armed security guards at the forefront of the news. People want to know their kids are safe at school, or that they can be protected when attending downtown sporting or theatrical events. While the police provide some of this protection, city budget cuts can precipitate the need for trained security guards. Armed security guards patrol businesses and parking lots, monitor alarms and security cameras, and apprehend perpetrators when necessary. They also write detailed reports on crimes and discuss the circumstances with police officers. They earn salaries averaging just above $30,000 annually

CBD for Dog Anxiety Symptoms (Shaking and Panting)








If you have ever suffered from an anxiety attack, you will understand exactly how horrific it can be at the time. While you struggle to breathe or focus, you usually find it in you to vocalize your need for help, so just imagine how much worse it would be if you couldn’t even ask anyone for help? Unfortunately, dogs that suffer from anxiety have to go through exactly that each time they feel nervous. Whether it is separation anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or one of the many other anxiety disorders, they feel completely panicked, but they aren’t able to tell us—the pet owners—what is wrong and what they need. Fortunately, canine anxiety will often manifest itself through symptoms that usually include shaking, panting, and whining, which is what alerts us to help them overcome their disorder.

Stress and anxiety can be really tough to deal with and there aren’t many options available to both dogs and humans that offer relief without some form of negative side effects. This is one of the main reasons that people are turning to CBD oil as a remedy for these times of crisis—both for personal use and also for their furry friends.

A dog’s anxiety can be triggered by an innumerable number of things, many of which you can figure out in advance so that you can better prepare yourself for an episode of panic (fireworks, thunderstorms, etc.). In addition, CBD oil, hemp oil, and many other CBD products are packed with loads of other benefits for your dog, aside from treating his presenting anxiety.

How Does CBD Work for Dog Anxiety?

The benefits of CBD are slowly starting to show up in studies and it is fast becoming one of the most important aids to combat the symptoms that a dog experiences when he is feeling stressed or anxious. It is especially well regarded as a pain reliever for chronic pain and anti-inflammatory agent when used to treat common problems like arthritis.

CBD is one of two crucial elements found present in a cannabis plant that is compounded into oil for medical use. CBD itself has less than 0.3% of THC when properly extracted, which is important to know as anything over that amount could be toxic for dogs. CBD works to cure anxiety in dogs via their natural endocannabinoid system to trigger parts of the central nervous system responsible for dealing with feelings of panic and fear. Through the same process, CBD triggers the release of serotonin in the brain, which, in turn, will calm your pooch down and free him from feelings of anxiety.

It Will also Tackle Other Problems

Many often hail CBD as a miracle oil because it can also be used to treat a huge range of other problems that could also be contributing to your furry friend’s anxiety levels. Many medical professionals—both for humans and animals—now advocate the use of medical marijuana, including CBD oil as it produces excellent results in a short space of time compared to other traditional medications. The best part is, there are zero side effects. There have been both scientific research papers and patient testimonials emerging in recent times that back the efficacy of medical marijuana to treat ailments such as the following:
Successfully eliminates seizures
Cancer treatment and prevention
Pain relief
Arthritis and similar problems
Insomnia
Depression
Using CBD as a Preventative Measure

Cannabis-based medicine has been used for thousands of years, way before it took its rightful place in the public spotlight. It is one of the few medicines on the planet that is not accompanied by any harmful side effects and it is virtually impossible to overdose on it. It is for this reason that people are now turning to a daily dose of CBD for themselves and their pets, even if they are in perfect health. Many users of medical marijuana have reported that it contributes to their overall mood, positive frame of mind and allows them to relax properly. Because our dogs can fall ill suddenly, all loving dog parents want to do everything possible to prevent unforeseen illnesses and as CBD oil’s popularity increases, it is widely used as preventative medicine for pretty much every sickness in existence.

What Does Research Say?

Without delving into complicated scientific jargon, there is already a substantial amount of evidence that highlights CBD’s ability to treat illness in both animals and humans. There is still more testing to be done, especially with regards to CBD as a primary form of mainstream treatment rather than a complimentary supplement. However, the future is looking bright for cannabis-based products as more countries and states are legalizing its use and commercial manufacturing operations.

Final Thoughts

If your dog has been suffering from anxiety for a while and you are finding yourself lost with regards to finding a product that will actually work without harming your dog, then you have nothing to lose giving CBD a try. A good quality oil will be processed in a way that ensures it is entirely chemical free and pure. If you are worried about dosages, don’t be. There is currently no specific amount that you should be administering to your dog, which is another indicator that it really is safe to use. The reason for this is that a) you can’t overdose on CBD and b) it is still considered to be an experimental homeopathic medicine, which needs further research. You should always start with a lower dosage and gradually increase this dose if you don’t notice an improvement in your dog’s temperament. The taste can often be somewhat revolting, as reputable manufacturers will often use omega-3 as the carrier oil. So, unless your dog loves fish, you might want to consider mixing the oil into his food.
