The Watervliet Arsenal is gearing up for 'Boots to Business.'

Spokesman Peter Gannon says the Arsenal Business and Technology Partnership is hosting a business bootcamp January 26^th thru 30^th, an event designed to expand the reach of the McNulty Center in 2015: "We're partnering with the small business development center at Suny Albany. We're gonna be offering a consolidated version of a very popular curriculum called 'Boots to Business' called 'Re-Boot'"

Over the course of 5 lunch-and-learn meetings, veterans interested in starting their own business will get advice on overcoming some of the initial obstacles to setting up shop.
