looking into this and joins me now. we are talking about veterans that served as medics and come into civilian life and not getting hired? it s all about paperwork. the civilian health care world needs to see the paper, the licenses, the certifications and rightly so to show the folks have experience but you have army medics and navy corpsmen who developed all this great experience in the field and they just don t want all that experience to be ignored. as an enlisted sailor, eric dodson spent 11 years in the u.s. navy working on the front lines assisting with surgeries and mass casualty incidents. hey, we have 20 people coming in, take care. find someone to take care of them. reporter: after his military service, dodson volunteered as a registered nurse at a covid field hospital in new york. once that was over because the mission had finished i was applying for jobs as an er tech and told i wasn t qualified.
