You cannot count on selling apples to hedge oranges, because theyare different fruits, come to market at different times and subject to mixture pricing risks.
It is very true that our experience, leadership, dedication, loyalty and the countless other personal attributes that were honed in the line of duty count for something and are desired traits from all employees and that you will never be able to fairly compare apples to oranges(military to civilian), but those are what theyare, character traits!
