Retirement System goes into effect on January 1, 2018. The opt–in/election period for the Blended Retirement System begins January 1, 2018, and

Essay On Veterans
Over the course of this past year the Veterans Success Center (VSC) has made huge strides in being more visible and more involved with other areas
across campus. I wanted to concentrate on reaching the incoming student–veterans so that when they encountered the veterans program it appeared to
be far more established than it was, and interaction with it being perceived as a daily opportunity. This meant that we would need to be far more
involved with the early processes of becoming a student such as: Premiere Night, SOAR/TSOAR/Preview Day/ Veteran specific orientation and
Veteran campus tours. We also wanted to be much more accurate in speaking to our student
–veteran population, so we worked directly with the
Admission Office to create an...show more content...
This more dynamic space has enabled us to host more student–veterans as well as increased our foot traffic and use of our area. Because of the central
location of the VSC being located in the WUC we are able to meet student–veterans where they are as they mill through the building to take advantage
of some of the services offered. Lunch time is by far one of the busiest times for the VSC as well as early mornings and late evenings.
Outreach and events have become some of the larger focuses. In order to accomplish this the VSC worked collaboratively with several other clubs and
organizations such as the student–veterans club, WOU Student Veterans of America. We developed closer relationships with ASWOU, Abbey's House,
Stonewall Center, Campus Dining and Housing. Some examples of our successful events include: education Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day markers
along Monmouth Ave.,Veterans Daystudent–veteran panel, Memorial Day Banquet, Campus–wide Easter Egg Hunt, Toys for Tots float for the winter
parade, raising almost 400 lbs. of food over 3 weeks via a food drive for the WOU food pantry, and much more. The Student Veterans of

Veterans Struggles Essay
The Struggle For Veterans To Obtain Jobs My cousin is going to enter the Marines, and he may even be able to get in the top group of the Marines.
He will do his service, and come home, a respected and courageous veteran. However, my cousin will be without a job, a house, a family, and with all
of the trauma that came with serving in the military. This in my mind is terrible. These people have just put their life on the line, and come back with
almost nothing. They are clumped in the same employment field and have to get a job as their other job as ended. They need a job so that they may
receive income, and buy a house, and a car, and they need a car to get to their job. This is the struggle of many veterans coming out of the military and

The Military Veteran Project, helps those with PTSD with funding and counseling. There is the Returning Veterans Project, and Team Depot, a group
of Home Depot employees that volunteer to help veterans by building new homes for them. Maybe you have heard of the Wounded Warrior Project
that helps those who have been wounded in service. However, Veterans still face many struggles. A report done by Mike Echols of Bellevue
University on Veteran Employment in 2014 found that Veterans that served in Iraq and Afghanistan have the worst unemployment of all veterans. The
most recent wars are producing worse unemployment rates. Those who have served in the post 9/11 event, have had an unemployment several
percentage points higher than the regular population. Some of the reasons that employers are not hiring veterans include negative stereotypes, fear of
future employments, as well as many more. Employers had reported a fear of veterans with PTSD, or that the employees may have little initiative and
may be too rigid. With those serving in the reserve, or the national guard, employers would be constantly worried of an employment, and the fear of
being left one man

Writing As A Veteran
I can't write very well. I cannot write very well. I don't like to write. I do not like to write. Over the past four years our teachers gave us various types
of papers to challenge us to be better writers. Thinking back I always felt like a good writer and writing seemed to come easier to me. "Wow, you
should be an author" was one of the very first things a colleague looking over my paper stated.
"With Veteran's day right around the corner, you will have the choice to write a research paper about the life of a veteran, or a research paper about
different physical or mental handicaps that were common among veterans." Various facilitators stated in different ways each year ofhigh school. It
seemed like every year we wrote a paper similar to

Care For Veterans Essay
The Care of Our Country's Heroes
Dictionary.com's definition of the Department of Veterans Affairs is, "The second
–largest cabinet department, the VA coordinates the distribution of
benefits for veterans of the American armed forces and their dependents. The benefits include compensation for disabilities, the management of
veterans' hospitals, and various insurance programs." My sister, Keara Torkelson, is a retired US Army Veteran. Every time she takes a trip to the
VA's office, she only comes out less and less satisfied. However, the VA's office isn't the only place Veterans are neglected.
As of 2014, there are 22.5 million veterans in the United States. According to Veteransinc.org, between 529,000 and 840,000 veterans are homeless at
some time during the year. Did you know 33% of homeless males are veterans? Aside fromhomelessness, 70% have substance abuse problems, 45%
suffer from PTSD, and there are 22 veterans who commit suicide every day. The problems don't end there, homelessness is just one problem for our
veterans. 573,000 were unemployed in 2014. There are many causes for unemployment such as PTSD, war injuries, or lack of knowledge in the work

The New York Times article, "Wait Lists Grow as Many More Veterans Seek Care and Funding Falls Far Short" says the Department of Veterans
Affairs agency has a new crisis they're facing. The wait list of Veteran's is more than 50% higher than it was last year, departments say. They are also
facing nearly a $3 billion budget short, which could very well affect the care of our veterans.
What can we do to take better care of our veterans? The first thing we can do is start taking care of the lack of medical treatment they are receiving.
We need to prioritize the need for funding to take care of our veterans and their families. We should make sure the heroes of our country are in the best
of health, and

Military Veterans Essay
Among the many populations that occupational therapists serve are military veterans who have bravely risked their lives for our country. Whether they
are veterans of World War I or II, the Vietnam War or the current Global War on Terrorism, they often return home from combat with various injuries,
illnesses and impairments. Some common conditions that they may face include polytrauma, traumatic brain injury and post–traumatic stress disorder.
Our military veterans must learn how to reintegrate into society as they transition back to civilian life, which can prove difficult for many reasons. They
may experience difficulty readjusting to life at home, school, work or within the community.
The mental health conditions that affect many veterans are concerning. In particular, veterans may face post–traumatic stress disorder or depression as
a result of their combat experiences. Though awareness of mental illness is increasing, there is still a stigma surrounding these disorders and those
suffering may be hesitant or feel too much shame to reach out for help. In these cases, the disorder may be left untreated, which may...show more

Whether it is educating caregivers to help them better understand what their loved one is going through or working on structuring daily routines,
occupational therapy can help veterans adapt to demands at home, school, work. For example, it can assist veterans in developing physical and
cognitive skills necessary for proper self–care, effectively managing their emotions, managing finances, communicating with others, and structuring
routines and setting goals. For those struggling with reintegrating into community life, occupational therapy can assist them in developing skills for
safe driving habits and using public transportation. Occupational therapists can also help veterans achieve their goals by adapting the environment or
