meet up with Dusty Hillebrand of
Job Service North Dakota. He is a
Veteran Employment Specialist
there at Job Service and his sole re-
sponsibility is to assist Veterans in
gaining employment.
Once you get connected with
Dusty, he'll be able to help you cre-
ate a career catalog and highlight
your military experience. Accord-
ing to Job Service, it is ok to be
proud of the experience you gained
and the skills you learned while
serving our country. Even those re-
sponsibilities you may have con-
sidered ordinary will translate into
valuable traits to a civilian em-
jll ployer.

Dear Searching,
Traveling can be daunting under
the best circumstances but for eld-
erly seniors, those with disabilities,
or those recovering or rehabilitating
from an illness or injury, it can seem
particularly overwhelming or un-
manageable.
Fortunately, there are a number
of companies that provides travel-
mg companion/escort services to
help older adults with the rigors of
travel.
Whether it's seniors going on va-
cation or grandparents wanting to
join their far-off families for wed-
dings and graduations, travel com-
panions help clients who need help
moving through airports, managing
luggage, navigating busy terminals
and hotel lobbies and inuch more.
Some companion services even
provide personal care like medica-
tion reminders, dressing, bathing and
feeding. And for those with specif
ic medical needs, traveling nurse
services are available too.
But be aware that these services
aren't cheap. You will pay for the
travel companion's tickets, the com-
panion's hotel room if necessary,
meals, incidentals and fees for the
service. The price to accompany a
client on a plane trip within the Unit-

ed States - including the compan-
ion fees and travel costs for all

$1,500 to $5,000 or more for coach
airfare. Business or first class would
cost more.
To locate a travel companion
service in your area, search online
for "senior travel companion" or "se-
nior travel escort," followed by
your mom's city or state. Or use ap
experienced national service like
Flying Companions (FlyingCom-
panions.com) or FirstLight Home
Care (FirstLightHomeCare.com),
which has a national network of
franchises that provides in-home
care for seniors, and offers travel
companion programs in about one-
third of its 130 franchises.
Or, for medical travel compan-
ions do a search for"traveling nurse
escort" or "medical travel compan-
ion," or checkout Travel Care & Lo-
gistics (YourFlightNurse.com),
which provides registered nurses as
escorts.
If, however, your mom doesn't
require a lot of assistance, or if you
can't afford a travel escort, consid-
er asking a trusted family member
or friend that has some air travel ex-
perience.
Questions to Ask
If you're interested in hiring a
travel companion service to help
your morn, there are a number of
things you need to check into to en-
sure you get the right escort.
