MAJ Mannoel B. Gorospe Commander / CSM Gregory Santana

On Thursday, 22 September 2011, RecruitMilitary hosted a veteran’s job fair

at the Manhattan Civic Center in New York City. The event hosted over 40

companies searching to fill positions with prior service personnel. Amongst

the exhibitors were educational institutions, government agencies and

private companies.

“These employers are looking for the skill sets, discipline, and work ethics our

prior service members can provide,” said John Lundberg, National Account

Executive, RecruitMilitary. “We will host 60-70 events in 40 cities over the

next year.”

More than 500 veterans and reservists pre-registered for the exhibit. The only

requirement was to bring their resume to the event. This event was a great

opportunity for job-seekers interested in changing career fields to get an

idea of who may be hiring.

Federal agencies at the exhibit advised that although they are not hiring,

they are waiting for the green light. These functions, therefore, allow them

to continually recruit in anticipation.

College admissions counselors were present to help veterans choose a

college degree that best suits them. Several companies had immediate

hiring needs and took applications on the spot. The event was a great

chance for prior service members to get their resumes out and possibly

become employed immediately.

H

“Eat your veggies, don't

eat red meat, eggs are

bad for you. Or wait -

didn't I hear they are

good for you."

ealth and nutrition is an ever

evolving subject. Something is

good for you, and then it's bad

for you until it's good for you again.

What is "healthy" anyways? Being

healthy, or eating a healthy diet really

depends on an individual's needs,

family history and lifestyle. There is no

one size fits all diet as we are all bio

individuals. One person's body might

require more of a certain vitamin or

nutrient.

Instead of adjusting your diet based on

what foods are bad or good for you,

it's better to eat in moderation. With

some foods, it's more important to

focus on limiting consumption, but

when you put food on a bad list you

create an internal struggle.

So what about advertising? Every time

you blink another billboard or

commercial ad is telling you what to

eat. Walking into a grocery store can

be more than overwhelming. We have

more choices today than at any

other point in history and the whole

of the grocery store can feel like an

advertisement.

A good practice to follow in

shopping at the modern

supermarket is stay around the

outside edges as much as possible.

Try to first do a loop around the

grocery store buying as many fruits,

vegetables and live foods before

going down the aisles of plenty.

When it comes to diets, I am not an

advocate of any one type, but it is

better to eat foods as close to their

living form as possible. What does this

mean? Well, the majority of the

packaged food down the grocery

store aisles are dead foods and dead

foods are for dead people - or at least

great at creating a population that

gets sicker and sicker each year the as

US population is getting now.

Vegetables, fruit and whole grains are

living foods that have vitamins,

phytonutrients, enzymes and a lot

more of what your body needs where

processed foods generally have little

to no nutrient value.

When you do not consume the

nutrients your body needs your body

tries to create them. For example, your

pancreas creates enzymes and if you

are not getting enzymes in your diet

from eating fresh fruits and vegetables

the pancreas has to create them. If

the pancreas becomes overworked or

is not able to create certain enzymes

you end up with inflammation in the

body which is the root cause of most if

not all disease processes.

You can also kill enzymes in the food

you eat by cooking at high

Temperatures, but I don't propose

everyone start a raw food diet. As a

matter a fact, certain foods like

broccoli have a natural pesticide that

can be harsh on the body. Natural

pesticide are used by broccoli to

protect itself from bugs, but that

pesticide is hard for most people to

digest, particularly those with a

compromised immune system.

Yours in health,

Capt. Jason D. Pyeatt

Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP) by Staff Sgt. Naurys Marte

Soldier Readiness Processing (SRP) is a program which consists of administrative and medical measures to assess the Soldier’s readiness for deployments. Soldiers are required to complete one SRP annually, regardless of deployment status.

The administrative section (S-1) of the SRP is usually completed in the least amount of time. The soldier will visit several stations during the administrative portion of the SRP, including legal (Wills and Power of Attorney), chaplain, life insurance (SGLI), family situation changes (BAH, DD Form 93). Be prepared to provide any new information to add or delete from the current information on file.

The medical section of the SRP includes a series of medical examinations and evaluations. The soldier can also anticipate receiving immunizations, and a dental exam. The soldier will meet with a health care provider. The soldier will be classified as medically deployable or non-deployable based on the review all of the data collected on the soldier throughout the SRP.

November 5 is the scheduled SRP for the 361st PAOC: Remember to bring your medical file.
