Discharged Military Personnel

There are six major military installations within 2 hours drive of Greenville – four within 60 miles. These bases discharge thousands of skilled individuals every year, many who prefer to remain in the area to take advantage of base privileges available to them after discharge (shopping and medical services, etc.). Several local employers have been successful in recruiting well-qualified personnel from these facilities.
