Veterans with the Wounded Warrior Project are learning on how to become drone pilots as part of a collaboration with CSX Railroad Transportation to diversify job opportunities and employ more veterans.

“It’s just another way to get into flying,” said retired veteran Rich Possert, who is eager to get his license.“I’ve always been fascinated with flying, and I was on ships all 23 years that I was in the military. Never got the chance to fly or learn how to fly and when I was retired, I was a little too old,” Possert said.
CSX is leading the training at its Moncrief Yard in partnership with the WWP to help veterans take a shot at jobs that work well with their prior military experience.Sign up for our Positively JAX newsletter
