Program Aids Wounded Warriors

Week of September 21, 2009

Wounded Warriors recuperating at Virginia-based Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) now have new career options if they need to transition out of the service through the Veterans' Individual Training Assistance Link (VITAL). The program prepares servicemembers for jobs in Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) fields including information assurance specialists, network operators, network engineers, software engineers, system administrators and application testers. VITAL actively seeks out servicemembers who, since Sept. 11, 2001, were classified as disabled or severely disabled and also have 30 percent or greater Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability rating.
