CPL Whitaker...in addition to the above resources identified to support your wife's job transition, have you considered applying to start a Veteran Owned Service Disabled Company? By virtue of your service and disability status you qualify. In that way you and your wife can have some additional flexibility as you move back to the States.

Hi Walter,

Below is a link from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics which governs US Optician requirements. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/opticians-dispensing.htm. Individual states may have additional requirements.

Best wishes to you and your spouse.
