For foreign employment details, visit the nearest US Employment Service Office to see the Veterans Employment Representative and the Guide to Foreign Employment Opportunities. To return to a former job after discharge, contact the former employer within 90 days, or seek assistance from the Selective Service Board if difficulties arise.
