"Duke Energy went the extra mile by compensating us while we were gone. From pre-deployment to our return, overall Duke Energy is very supportive of the military and us. From my direct supervisor all the way up to my section manager, everyone went above and beyond."

Security Officer, Oconee Nuclear Station

Duke Energy has been the catalyst allowing me to impact the lives of so many veterans within the company and surrounding communities in support of transition assistance, employment and women's issues. All of my managers and directors, from the start of my career here, have been overly supportive and flexible to allow me to continue serving the military community, while maintaining a full-time career."

There a quite a few connections between Duke and the military.  From the structure of the organization, to the desire to respond rapidly to make sure the customer is supported to the self-less service shown by the workers to leave their homes, even when they may be impacted by an event, to go out and make sure others have the services they need.  All of these attributes are shared by Duke and the military.
