What's one of the more unexpected resources that you've found available to you in the workplace, or otherwise? Anything out there I should pay attention to taking advantage of in terms of benefits or even priority that no one thinks to ask for?

Check into benefits offered by your state (or the state you lived in when you enlisted). Many recruiters aren’t versed in benefits at that level and don’t mention them.

I was surprised how deeply discounted some training programs are. I received a big discount on my CPA exam study materials for being a veteran.

smart

Definitely check state benefits as well as county and possibly even city/town. My county gives huge discounts on property taxes (which is half the reason we moved here), the state that my in-laws live in offers free vehicle registration, and many states also offer college tuition assistance for veterans if you meet the requirements for in-state tuition.

Microsoft Learn is pretty solid.
