Hi, Alice: looking at your CORE group I see a number of my colleagues who are now at Oracle. Small world.

So you've emailed this address and had no reply? (OU-VeteransRelations_US@oracle.com) Or did you email Michelle Cross?

Best,
Drew

Update: followed up with a message here on AdvisorNet after some research.

Hi Alice,
Thank you for your service!
In addition to these answers above, I wish to tell you an all the other Veterans reading this post, I have come across free training offered in California to CA Employees.

www.saisoft.net

I believe they offer courses in Oracle Database Administration. If you can get into one of these courses it gives you a head start on the training provided by Oracle and also demonstrates your desire to be in this field.
Best of luck. And if you wish, connect with me on Linked In.
