Bipartisan bill would make it easier for military recruits with medical issues to land defense jobs
Fox News
A new bill seeks to help Americans with physical issues disqualifying them from military service find civilian jobs in the defense industry.
The proposal, which seeks to support the thousands of Americans with physical issues that disqualify them from service, would target workforce shortages in critical areas, including manufacturing, cybersecurity and defense logistics.
"Oftentimes, the U.S. Department of Defense will invest significant time and resources into military recruits' training – only for those recruits to be taken out of consideration for medical reasons, many of which do not prohibit them from working to keep our nation safe," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., one author of the bill.
