PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Terrance Britt has spent the last 20 years in the U.S. Navy. He’s now a 38-year-old aviation ordnance man who is set to retire in July, and he’s looking for his next opportunity.
“I have been in the military my whole life, since high school, so whenever we retire, we have to transition from thinking like a military member to the civilian sector,” Britt said.
Britt was one of hundreds of active duty, veterans, military spouses and retirees who attended Saturday’s Military Job Fair at TPC Sawgrass. It was the 10th annual free event hosted by The Players and the Jacksonville Military Veterans Coalition.

WASHINGTON – After seven Republicans voted Saturday to convict former President Donald Trump in his Senate trial, News4Jax political analyst Rick Mullaney said the real surprises in that group were Sen. Richard Burr from North Carolina and Sen. William Cassidy from Louisiana.
In addition to Burr and Cassidy, voting to find Trump guilty were GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania.
The seven votes were easily the largest number of lawmakers to ever vote to find a president of their own party guilty at impeachment proceedings.
News4Jax political analyst Rick Mullaney of Jacksonville University’s Public Policy Institute, Florida Sen. Audrey Gibson, U.S. Rep. John Rutherford and News4Jax anchor Tom Wills join this edition of “This Week in Jacksonville” as they discuss the invasion of the halls of Congress, objections to Electoral College votes and whether impeachment should be attempted. In addition, former advisor to President Donald Trump, Omarosa Manigault Newman, provides her perspective on the breach of the U.S. Capitol.
