How many of us know someone who has a failed VA or healthcare story? Many, I'm sure. And while there are improvements on many levels, there is still work to be done. 
One healthcare giant is not only helping Veterans navigate the healthcare system, they are also attracting and retaining veterans as employees and effectively training communities on what policies are best. They are a part of the solution to some of these failed experiences.   
In this episode of The Military Wire our guest, Darin Davis who is the regional veterans executive for Humana and also serves in an Army National Guard line unit with the 39th Infantry Brigade out of Arkansas, shares how Humana, a health insurance company, is focusing on innovated ways to better serve their clients. And while Humana offers the traditional health and supplemental insurance plans to serve all types of individuals, families, people with Medicare, servicemen, servicewomen and veterans, it is their commitment to innovative ways that set them apart. 
Humana has a long history of serving our Military and Veterans and families, and they do so through Humana Military®, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Humana Inc., which is a Department of Defense contractor administering the TRICARE health program for active duty and retired military as well as their families.
Currently, Humana Military is responsible for the 32-state TRICARE East Region, serving more than 6 million beneficiaries.
And they are looking for Veterans who want to help improve how we serve the healthcare needs of those who serve and have served.

Your military experience - and certainly your military achievements - will aid you in your corporate journey. But is there a secret to succeeding? And can you expect to just do a lateral move from the responsibilities you had in the military to corporate? 
Depends. 
Our guest on The Military Wire is Brian Jenkins. Considered a national HR leader, Brian graduated from Cornell and Pepperdine, has worked at some top tier companies like HP and Texas Instruments, and his HR experience ranges from large (HP, 350K employees) and medium (TI, 30K employees) companies to the small (WageWorks, 2k employees) and emerging companies.
There aren't many issues Brian hasn't faced or experienced in his HR people management experience.  He's supported businesses through growth and difficult/reducing phases, including issues around change management.  
And what he's recognized through all his experience is the value Veterans bring - as well as some of the common hang-ups to Veterans succeeding. 
In this episode, you'll hear Brian share how Veterans can leverage their experience and knowledge to truly succeed in corporate.
