John, Day jobs? Remember 99% of soldiering is logistics and holding territory. You almost never get to shoot anything! The real crux is funding - notice that FVAP helped by getting funding for the States on elections services - that the States would never have got themselves. Every politician gets kudos for helping the military - but precious little for helping your local election officials! Similarly for emergency services compared to the local council. So - to advance funding for TGF - you want to find stakeholders in public safety community, and or military (there's a sweet spot there on coast guard BTW that touches both) - where there is a tie-back into civilian services - medical first responders for example - needing to know information about civilian or military patients - medical records, family members, recent travel, etc. DW
