Ex-SEAL, Now at Google, Talks About Recruiting Vets to Tech Industry

Harry Wingo spoke with Fast Company magazine about how veterans' skills translate to Silicon Valley.

How is being a Navy SEAL good preparation for joining a tech company?

Harry Wingo, a former SEAL, told FastCompany.com that the discipline learned by being in the military is not so very different from what's required in the hypercompetitive technology field. He added: 

... the military is an ever more technological force. I think the challenge is making the translation, helping veterans explain to the people hiring how they used technology in the military.

Wingo is in human resources for Google.

This is a great event. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make it a fun and enrichingRead More experience for my family. We need to get the word out about this helpful event in Coronado for the future. It was a learning experience for children and adults alike. I feel better now with my daughter riding her bike on the busy streets of Coronado. Thanks again to all of the Police Officers, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts and local volunteers.
