career

Career soldiers are the mainstay of any army; who are these brave patriots that lay down their lives for a living? And what do they do post-combat life?

Why I'm Not Upset
It has been a long road and a short road at the same time. I joined the military in 2016, hoping to acquire a new, independent lifestyle and get out of my parents' house. I got through boot camp, made my way through training for my job and headed out to the Fleet. I was so proud, serving my country, becoming a part of someting greater than myself for once. My ship was in the middle of a deployment, I had never been to the middle east before and I was always up for an adventure.

At the heart and mind of leadership
Here is the action of what you are about to read. If you are going to take the right step to your next successful adventure, then you need to find a supporting team. A team that values you as a Veteran and values you as a human being. If you feel like you are getting the cold shoulder, start looking for a new job. Don't wait around to be fired. You, as a Veteran, are valued, and people care about you. Your passion is not a disgrace, and your focus is not a problem. I am here to help you grow and realize your own potential. I want the best for you and those that you desire to be close too.

Lucas Group’s National Hiring Conference
We never know what life has in store for us. We remember our hopes and dreams for a job (i.e., fireman, astronaut or others) we sought to achieve as children. Unfortunately, not everyone gets to have their dream job. Instead, many of us settle for those occupations we are best suited for or most willing to perform. For those of us who served in the military, we face choices of a profession that, many times, may not be the best choices available. We only hope that our potential occupation outside of the military will provide us with a bright future. Lucas Group, a military recruiting firm, tries to give that bright future by providing military veterans with a reliable and robust option for finding a job suited to their skills.

As a musician, I am often asked what my favorite song is or what has been my greatest inspiration. Any true music lover will tell you that it is impossible to choose just one song. My greatest inspiration came from a place many would not expect and led me to a path no one could predict...

Things All Recruits Should Know Before Becoming a Sniper
Sniper. Just the word alone suggests something terrifying—a person whose keen eye, steady hand, and ghost-like ability to hide in wait makes them capable of killing a person without a trace.

Handling Finances in the Military — A Personal Account
Whenever you think of what life is like in the military, what comes to mind first? Is it the assumed thrill of a firefight? Perhaps the excitement of seeing massive explosions? Or maybe you simply think of the travel? Those that serve in the military will oftentimes tell you that what comes to mind for them first is payday, specifically the 1st and 15th of every month. Of course, when we do receive that highly sought after paycheck, we find that there never seems to be enough zeros at the end of our checks — only zeros in our bank accounts. Why is that?
