Misconceptions of Military Emergency Relief

<p>You all know, I’m a big fan of free financial help. It’s a major benefit service members receive while on active duty and in retirement. It’s also a benefit available to their family members. Just like anything in life, sometimes the information isn’t relayed correctly. </p> <p>In this episode, I talk with Lieutenant General (retired) Raymond V. Mason, the director of Army Emergency Relief, about some of the misconceptions about military aid societies and the resources AER provides. </p> <p>General Mason became the ninth Director of Army Emergency Relief on 1 January 2017. General Mason retired from the United States Army in October 2014, after serving 35 years on active duty, the last 12 as a General Officer. Following retirement, General Mason joined VT Systems in Alexandria, VA, as the Chief Operating Officer. VTS is a US-based company with global commercial and government/military-focused capabilities in Aerospace, Shipbuilding, Ground Systems, and Electronics; including over 5,000 employees and $1.2B in annual revenue.</p> <p>The show notes can be found here: <a href= "https://laceylangford.com/?post_type=portfolio_page&p=4383&preview=true" target= "wp-preview-4383">https://laceylangford.com/podcast/<span id="editable-post-name">military-emergency-relief</span>/</a></p>
