Starting Point: .
Arlington County is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is the highest-income county in the United States by median family income, though it has the highest concentration of singles in the region. Arlington is the second-largest principal city of the Washington metropolitan area. The county is often referred to in the region simply as Arlington or Arlington, Virginia.
Due to the county's proximity to downtown Washington, D.C., Arlington is headquarters to many departments and agencies of the federal government of the United States, including the Department of Defense (DoD) at the Pentagon, Drug Enforcement Administration, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It is also home to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The many federal agencies, government contractors, and service industries contribute to Arlington's stable economy. Arlington is also the location of national memorials and museums, including Arlington National Cemetery, the Pentagon Memorial, the Marine Corps War Memorial, and the United States Air Force Memorial.

Landmarks
Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington National Cemetery is an American military cemetery established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House (also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion). It is directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., north of the Pentagon. With nearly 300,000 graves, Arlington National Cemetery is the second-largest national cemetery in the United States.
The Tomb of the Unknowns, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, stands atop a hill overlooking Washington, DC. President John F. Kennedy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with his wife and some of their children. His grave is marked with an Eternal Flame. His brothers, Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy, are also buried nearby. William Howard Taft, who was also a Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, is the only other President buried at Arlington.
Other frequently visited sites near the cemetery are the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, commonly known as the Iwo Jima Memorial, the U.S. Air Force Memorial, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, the Netherlands Carillon and the U.S. Army's Fort Myer.
The Pentagon
The Pentagon in Arlington is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. It was dedicated on January 15, 1943 and it is the world's largest office building. Although it is located in Arlington, the United States Postal Service requires that Washington, D.C. be used as the place name in mail addressed to the six ZIP codes assigned to The Pentagon.[94]
The building is pentagon-shaped in plan and houses about 23,000 military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel. It has five floors and each floor has five ring corridors. The Pentagon's principal law enforcement arm is the United States Pentagon Police, the agency that protects the Pentagon and various other DoD jurisdictions throughout the National Capital Region.
Built during the early years of World War II, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. It has 17.5 miles (28 km) of corridors, yet it takes only seven minutes or so to walk between any two points in the building.

What can I be doing now while on base to get ready for a civilian
CDL?
What will make me most marketable once I get out of the service?

Why Troops to Truckers?
To Assist You in Geting Licensed and Employed as Quickly as Possible
The Troops to Truckers mission is to assist YOU, our US military active duty or military veteran men and women in obtaining your CDL Class “A” drivers license AND land a great paying professional driving position. Our goal is to move you from unemployment or underemployment to a starting salary of at least $35,000 per year.
From training to employment, career advising to scholarships, Troops to Truckers has something to offer you.
The goal is CDL training for you, the U.S. military service person or veteran. Truck driving, as well as operating other commercial vehicles requiring a Class “A” and “B” operator’s license, is one of the professions that you can enter that are very compatible with the “new normal” that many of you are experiencing post deployment or post active duty service. Most of you are now accustomed to working outdoors, independently, and often in semi-isolation, and CDL training is often an outstanding opportunity and great career fit.
Tractor-trailerFACT: There is a truck driver shortage
U.S. trucking companies may face a 30 percent surge in wage costs by 2014 as rising demand for freight shipments threatens to push the industry’s driver shortage to the longest on record. Even with numerous truck driving schools to hire from, a shrinking pool of drivers is putting wage pressure on Idaho’s trucking companies.
“Throughout this past year, we were down quite a few drivers,” said Jason Andrus, chairman of the Idaho Trucking Association and chief financial officer of Doug Andrus Distributing in Idaho Falls. “We’ve filled those positions now, but it’s just taking a lot more effort to keep those trucks with drivers in them. The current national shortfall will double in a year to about 300,000 full-time positions, or 10 percent of the workforce, said Noel Perry, managing director at consultant FTR Associates in Nashville, Ind.

Arlington National Cemetery Millennium Expansion Flyover
Arlington National Cemetery is currently 624 acres. Over the next several years, Arlington’s footprint will be increasing, with additional space for both in-ground and above-ground burials, thereby extending its life for several decades to come. The Millennium Project is a 27-acre parcel of undeveloped land from Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, the National Park Service, and existing ANC land. This parcel is included in the cemetery’s current acreage. The Millennium Project began construction in early 2014. This animated video is an artist rendering of the project.
For each of these projects, planning includes important considerations for interment options, visitor accessibility, environmental impact, roads, utilities, and other issues that not only ensure maximum use of Arlington’s burial space, but also ensure a smart and successful expansion.
