🚚 **Fast Track to CDL: Military Skills Test Waiver for Veterans** 🇺🇸 Are you a veteran considering a career shift to truck driving? Good news! You can take the fast track to obtaining your Commercial Driver's License (CDL) through a Military Skills Test Waiver. **What is the Military Skills Test Waiver?** The Military Skills Test Waiver is a program that allows eligible veterans with military commercial vehicle driving experience to bypass the skills test usually required for obtaining a CDL. This can significantly expedite the process of becoming a licensed truck driver. **Who is Eligible?** Veterans who have experience operating military vehicles equivalent to commercial motor vehicles are eligible for the waiver. The specific criteria may vary by state, so it's essential to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for precise requirements. **How to Apply:** 1. Contact your local DMV: Inquire about the Military Skills Test Waiver and obtain information on eligibility criteria. 2. Gather necessary documents: You may need to provide proof of your military driving experience and other relevant documentation. 3. Complete the application: Submit the required forms and information as per your state's DMV guidelines. **Utilizing Military Benefits for Additional Training:** Beyond the waiver, veterans interested in pursuing a career as a truck driver can leverage their military benefits to cover additional training or associated fees. This includes using the GI Bill, which can provide financial assistance for education and training programs. **Advantages of Pursuing a Career in Truck Driving:** 1. **High Demand:** The trucking industry is in constant need of skilled drivers, providing ample job opportunities. 2. **Flexibility:** Truck driving offers flexible schedules and the opportunity to travel. 3. **Use of Military Benefits:** Veterans can use GI Bill benefits to cover training costs and associated fees.

As we review further what happened with Boeing, it is suggested that the priority of the Board was profitability with less consideration to QMS & SMS. This is the dilemma of all aviation leaders today who are under pressure & maybe rewarded based on KPIs that maybe encourage certain behaviors. My book examines this question of how do you balance fiduciary responsibility with regulatory (safety & airworthiness) reponsibilty. The objective is a profitable aviation company that is compliant & safe.

Last week I spent time sitting down with my team defining my priorities and expectations. Overall I have a group of young, impressionable Sailors to include my LPO (the linchpin). Afterwards I broke out the white board and asked them to write down (amongst themselves), concerns they had about things that aren’t working well in the shop that they felt could be working better. This is what we got so far. One of the most interesting points thematically, is that of all the things on the board, not one by them was operationally related. You’ll notice that training, manning/wtrp, traditional/phys security, and gear status/qualifications were all added by myself and partner, the Info Sys Officer or their Chiefs. This isn’t a knock on the Sailors. Instead, it’s a perspective shaping and training opportunity . The assignment was things they felt could be better and in their minds, these are the things. A few of them are quality of life themed and I truly believe that once I address and remove barriers, they will have additional bandwidth for more operational minded problem solving. A few are the result of “Dunning Kruger” effect and we discussed this psychological bias as a team and how it affects us in real time. For example, one of the concerns was they wanted to be “treated like professionals”. My response: professionals show up on time, handle routine admin, and don’t have to be hounded to train and qualify others on the team. And based on what I’ve observed since I arrived, we could use a little improvement in each of those areas. In other words: stay humble, because we often aren’t as good as we think we are. Wasn’t a palatable answer but a true one. They took ownership of the points I made and discussed among themselves how they would answer going forward with me agreeing that I would manage expectations by others outside the shop, provided they were being “professionals.” One of my fave points: “TS/SCI and certified people are too important to clean and the Navy should consider having stewards like other Navies.” This wasn’t in jest, it was a serious point. This resulted in a homework assignment about whether the Navy did in fact, have stewards at one point, why we went away from them, and what one particular mess cook/steward did in a time of crisis that resulted in us naming the newest Ford class carrier after him. History and Heritage sets the Navy apart from other organizations for reasons besides just random trivia recollection. “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” This applies not just to lessons in battle, but also failed or ineffective policies. It’s natural to feel apprehensive in situations like this about what your team doesn’t know, but I choose to reframe and relish it because it gives me a chance to shape them into the warfighters I know the Navy needs. I plan to use this exercise as a baseline to establish a firm but assertive, empathetic but winning culture with my new team. - Mal

In aviation, human factors play an essential role in ensuring safe and efficient flights. At WYVERN, we believe in providing our clients with the most comprehensive human factors awareness training. One incident highlighting the importance of human factors occurred June 22, 1931, when Ruth Rowland Nichols, one of the most famous American women in aviation at the time, attempted to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. However, during a stop at Saint John airport in Milledgeville, her plans went awry due to miscalculations caused by the blinding sun. The resulting crash left her with five fractured vertebrae and months of recovery time. This incident underscores the critical role of human factors awareness in aviation safety. At WYVERN Ltd, our training is designed to help pilots and operators recognize and mitigate potential human factors risks, helping them avoid incidents like Nichols' and operate as safely as possible.
