FORT LEE, Va. (July 28, 2016) | Lesley Maceyak — Transitioning or recently separated service members can now apply for a free 18-week training course to qualify them as computer numeric controlled machinists and open new career opportunities in the ever-growing manufacturing industry.

This specialized training can put individuals on that path.” More
