One Step At A Time
For some, you just need a little extra push, maybe see if a couple more options are out there, or some validation in your decision making. If that is you, click "Get in Touch" now.
​
While other veterans struggle beyond belief! Once that brotherhood left, there was no one around to text, "What was on the schedule today and where do I go?" "What do I need for this class? Is this needed? What did you do?". Or they have inherited adjustment and anxiety problems, they have fallen way behind in life and options, or psychological disorders have prevented job interviews or furthering education. It may have caused homelessness, divorce, or stress. "The lion lays injured in dug up ground from battle, fatal wounds out in the open for his/her kingdom to see, pride is nonexistent, flies swarming, hyenas on the horizon, and the spirit of kingship has died". If that is you, click "Get in Touch" and let's get you up to speed, one step at a time. Yes, it will take a little while. If you need psychological assessments, no problem. That is the FIRST STEP toward your next step if something exists. As you know, the first step of an injury is safety - that applies to your head as well. Get to safety! That is here! Then you can properly asses your situation and stop any bleeding. Then our consultants take the next step right beside you, the next, the next step through the VA and local veteran organizations, and the next step, until you are independent and back in life. Truly back in life! Meaning, people can see it from a mile away. First impressions are everything.

This includes widows and Unspecified Government Employees (UGE). UGE's are mostly current and former employees of the United States or US contractors who held Top Secret clearances (in the War on Terror, for example). Essentially, they know who we are talking about. The CEO manages these cases.

Stay Two Steps Ahead
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with military challenges and opportunities. Education, preparedness, and information is something that we take very seriously. Contact us to learn more about our commitment in assisting you through your transition in the triad or your next military season. By staying two steps ahead, future issues are prevented. Prevention is always cheaper, healthier, and quicker.
Military Entry
Assistance
Enter Ready & Confident
Our goal with this first initiative is to layout the great opportunities for those entering the military. With access to the resources and knowledge, the future military can become empowered and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. Here you are assisted with learning about military occupations, possible educational routes, military benefits, where you may end up without preparation, if anything would prevent military service, and civilian equivalency of what you wish to do. Learn who you are and where you can go by getting in touch with our Transition Consultants today. And go out and do it!
Family Transition Assistance
(Including immigration of foreign military families)
Reinforcing Family Transition
Success
With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for families of veterans. We cover deployment concerns, entire family transitions (schools, VA locations, population, housing locations, financial advisors, occupation research, professional development, etc), and if parents or spouses have confidential psychological questions. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.
​
We are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. Advocacy is by no means an easy feat, but through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can facilitate progress in this area. We are always striving to make a difference.
“When leader directives and unit communication comes to an end and you feel like alone in a new battlefield, will you be able to make your own operation details, mission statement, and take ownership, now known as career and educational incentives? Transitions are hardest for those who did not have the opportunity to get pushed and mentored by good leadership.
Or would you like another set of eyes and ears? Come on in and let's talk”
