Your Service
Is Your Superpower.

“I gave the Army everything I had for seven years — early mornings, deployments, missed holidays. When I got out, I handed a civilian recruiter my resume and he looked at me like I was speaking another language. I led a 12-person team through a combat rotation and somehow that didn't count as 'management experience.' That first year out was the hardest thing I ever did, and I did two tours.”

“Nobody tells you how much of your identity is tied up in that uniform until it's gone. I went from being a Petty Officer who people listened to, who had a purpose every single day, to standing in a Walmart trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with my life. The civilian world doesn't have a formation. Nobody's going to tell you where to be or what the mission is. That part blindsided me completely.”

“I was a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force with a Top Secret clearance, six years of logistics experience, and I managed a $2 million equipment account. My first civilian job offer was $38,000 a year. I almost took it because I didn't know any better and nobody around me did either. The transition assistance program gave me a resume template. That was it.”
