   Once a class date is offered, I would need to give my current employer 2 weeks notice just as I would do at Atlas in the unlikely event that I decided to go somewhere else.

    Being in the military has taught me the value of flexibility. As long as it is within the scope of my job and doesn't break any rules, I am happy to be flexible in order to provide the most value to the company.
