JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas —
Active-duty members transitioning out of the military can learn about skills and tips to help them get a job at the “Confidence Outside the Uniform” workshop at the Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston Military & Family Readiness Center, building 2797, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 18.
The workshop is open to all transitioning service members, military spouses, veterans and Department of Defense civilians within JBSA, including JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, JBSA-Lackland, JBSA-Randolph and JBSA-Camp Bullis.

Workshop topics include interview techniques, proper attire to wear to an interview, how to handle salary negotiations and tips on translating skills and utilizing networking in getting a job.
Alma Guivas, JBSA community readiness specialist, said the workshop provides JBSA members with the skills that give them a competitive edge in their job search.

The best thing you can do for your boyfriend is be supportive of what he can eat and protect him from negative comments about his diet and future health. Selective eaters, surprisingly don’t have any more risk of health issues than the normal eating population. Stressing about what isn’t in his diet is far more harmful than anything he does eat.
