Military-Civilian K9 Veterinary Technician

Hi Lucy,

My name is Morgan and I am an LVT in the state of Michigan. I was wondering if I could get some more information about the position available for a veterinary technician to work in Iraq and Afghanistan with the bomb detecting dogs. I was wondering if you knew the salary and hours for that position? I would also like to inquire if the position is still available.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Morgan H, LVT

Interested in Being a Part of This Special Military Book Project?

Inspiration We are thankful for the 21 million veterans who have served the U.S. to protect us and our borders. Each year, it is estimated that 200,000 military members transition to civilian life.

According to the GAO, many veterans experience difficulty in finding a job beyond the military. Why? Key issues include being unfamiliar with effective job search strategies, and not knowing how to translate their military experience into a commercially-viable job title.

There are programs to assist the men and women of the Services work on making sure their career in the military comes to a close with help through Transition Assistance Programs (TAP) addressing topics such as financial, veteran benefits, retirement, and career options.

But, when it comes to actually sitting down and figuring out what you want to do next in your next mission – who helps? How do you determine what is your next best career mission?
