OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. – For Army Capt. Thor Schmidt's LinkedIn profile has listed his current position as "recently transitioning" since his separation in 2011, Duffel Blog has learned.
The former 101st Airborne Division G-1 OIC returned to his native Mississippi five years ago and is still seeking employment according to his all-star level profile. Meanwhile, most of Schmidt’s peers have secured positions and been promoted several times, as he notices daily on his feed.
“I was surprised I got so many Likes for celebrating my 5th anniversary of leaving the military but was baffled that no one actually asks me what I am doing now. I guess they just assume I am a professional veteran. I mean, that's what I tell chicks at the bar anyway," Schmidt said.
