When is a deadline not really a deadline? When it is on a job application. Even though it looks like you have the time to apply before the deadline, that is a mirage in the job-seeking desert. Veterans, spouses and job-hunting military members know the Apply First Rule: If you apply at the deadline, you might as well not apply at all.
When you read thousands of resumes from transitioning military, veterans, senior leaders and spouses, you recognize these resumes are so earnestly written, they could not possibly disappear into the Cloud -- even if they did not result in a job. At least five resumes wait to meet you in heaven that represent an important part of who you needed to become before you landed the civilian job you love.
