Saving Lives Through Training, Paul Peng, U.S. Army Veteran Veteran Voices

There is a reason that so many Veterans exit their military service with an abundance of consistency, determination, and discipline. They need those qualities to get through successfully.
In this episode of Veteran Voices, produced in partnership with Vets2Industry, Mary Kate Soliva welcomes Paul Peng, Founder and President of Sentri Institute, Inc. He was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and again in 2008. When the time came to reenlist in the Army, he made the decision not to because he was almost certainly going to be redeployed again (and again).
Not that escaping deployment made his transition any easier. Paul had difficulty finding a job because of the recession and turned to unhealthy coping mechanisms. After one particularly close call, he had an epiphany, accepted that he needed help, and went to graduate school so he could take his life in a new direction.
Paul Peng shares a raw and up close look at:
• His overseas deployments
• How Veterans should leverage their time in the military so that it resonates with hiring managers
• His unexpected ‘walk on’ movie role as a gangster thanks to his weapons training
