People may disregard the things that military vets learn in their basic training as obsolete in the civilian world, but there is a lot of things that you can apply from what you learn in military training even when you get back into the civilian swing of things. Here are just a few things that you learned that might end up helping you.

It could have put a strain on my grandparent's relationship, especially because they did not have the technology in order to keep in contact like we do today. However, their relationship was an inspiration and did not have any more strain put on it than any other relationships.

Take Vacations, my grandparents were blessed to live in a lot of unique places while he was in the service. When they lived Hawaii, they took advantage of the cheaper airfare and took their vacations to countries all over Asia that they would not have been able to go to otherwise.

These drought conditions have brought a far more immediate disaster to the western United States- fire. Thousands upon thousands of acres have been lost to flames spreading in the West this summer, being most focused in Colorado, Utah, and California.

Such rampant destruction has left many people feeling shaken up and nervous about future weather conditions. This is a good example of cause and effect in the world we live in, and it shows how quickly things can change in the space of a couple of months.

These occurrences show the real need to be ready for disasters- whenever they might hit. By being informed about threats and being ready to respond to them in a proactive manner, we all can get the best results overall.

It takes a lot of foresight and the ability to take initiative when the pressure comes reigning in. There are a lot of ways to deal with it but when you are in the military they force you to do tasks that get you in the mode of making decisions at the drop of a hat every day.

Plan Ahead, sometimes during a long-term, long-distance relationship you just have to take your mind off of it. An easy way to do this is to plan for the future, and for every contingency. You may have your education to worry about, or that of your children. You may be planning on moving again soon or you may be waiting to settle into your dream house.

Either way, a great way to take your mind off the stress of missing your loved one is to plan ahead for the day they come home. And in order to avoid further stress, it is important to make alternate plans in case your loved one does not come home.

Farmers like Jack deserve our support and not just the governments VA loans. There needs to be more supportive legislation for farmers like Jack who want to keep running their farms but can't without the help of the government or other corporations. So the next time you eat a meal thank a farmer!
