Any data on this (specifically the spouse). Experience says otherwise, TBH.
- 23B1 3y agoI doubt that sort of data exists anywhere, but I personally run a veterans service organization with ~800 families and I've yet to meet a vetspouse who wasn't squared away! The veteran community is a cross-section of America so there's bound to be turds, but I'd say that if you're a CHRO you're probably doing whatever you can to improve talent across the org, even if incrementally. One way to do that is to be vet/vetspouse friendly.

Okay, fair enough. > ...I've yet to meet a vetspouse who wasn't squared away! This has to be the most unlikely thing I've read on this site. Honestly I doubt the veracity of your comment based on this patently absurd claim. > One way to do that is to be vet/vetspouse friendly. Obviously you're biased by your experiences, as am I, but it's interesting we've come to completely contrary conclusions.
- 23B1 3y agoYou think it's patently absurd that members of the same community might have the same shared traits?
- closewith 3y agoI think it's patently absurd that you have only positive experiences with such a broad cohort, not to mention that the cohort self-selects (and not for positive behaviour). I think we both know if we had data, you'd be in damage-control mode.
- 23B1 3y agoSo you think my personal experiences... are patently absurd...? Huh!
