DoD Civilian Careers’ Post

This is a powerful quote. To this day, I reach out to mentors from years past to thank them for their efforts and pushing me to perform at my best. Awesome stuff! #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransupport #mentorship

Leading with Purpose: Empowering veterans to thrive, in service and beyond. 🇺🇸 As your Navy Prior Service | Reserve Recruiter, I strive to deliver the best customer service experience, guidance, and ensure you are well aware of all the opportunities and benefits the Reserve will offer you and your family. Are you a transition service member or veteran? Let’s connect! I’d be honored to share why we call it “THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!” 🙌🏽 For more information, click link in my BIO. #NavyReserves #VeteransSupport #MilitaryTransitioning #VetetanTransitioning #VeteranJobs #MentorshipMatters

During the transition, time becomes a major adversary for many soldiers. It's alarming how often we, as leaders, fail to adequately prepare them for life beyond the service. For years, we've largely ignored the potential of social media, especially in combat situations. Now, soldiers are thrust into intensive three-day programs to learn entirely new systems, which is far from ideal. So, how do we fix this? It starts with us, the veterans. If you've been in the service and know someone who's about to leave or has already left, reach out. Share your own experiences—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Let them know what worked for you and what didn't. Stay Living! Stay Winning! RLTW!

As we wrap up the day's tasks, a friendly reminder: Tomorrow is Veterans Day! Take a moment to express appreciation to those who've served. Whether you've had a busy day or still tackling projects, a simple "thank you" can make a meaningful impact. Let's carry a spirit of gratitude into tomorrow and consider doing something extra to spread positivity. Enjoy the rest of your day, and here's to making a positive difference! Where will you find your fit? https://lnkd.in/gyMSrFxx #FinalThoughtsFriday #WeAreTotalForce #ItsADoDThing #JustDoDIt #WeHireCivilians #FollowUs #ShareThisPost #DoDJobs #LikeOurPage #WeAreDoDCivilians #VeteransDayEve #SpreadKindness #ThankYouVets United States Department of Defense

Are you transitioning out of the #military soon or considering it in the next few years? TAP might not be enough to guide you towards a fulfilling career outside the service. Your military experience may not align with your true passions and strengths in the civilian world. Finding post-military excitement means understanding yourself deeply—your communication style, natural talents, and what truly brings you joy. Being proficient at something doesn't always equate to #fulfillment. As a retired Air Force member who faced uncertainty after 13 years in intelligence, I understand the struggle of seeking a new path. Despite a fulfilling role as a First Sergeant, I needed to discover more about myself to enhance #productivity and satisfaction. I offer the insights and guidance you need to navigate this crucial transition effectively. Reach out to me for support not only for yourself but also for your family, including your spouse, kids, students, and young adults. Let's uncover your true potential together. #personalgrowth #leadershipdevelopment #careertransition #veteran #militaryspouse #transitionassistance

As ANZAC Day 2024 draws to a close, there’s nothing I’d appreciate reading more than this article about the impeccable Susan Coyle AM, CSC, DSM, soon to be the first Lieutenant General from the Royal Australian Corps of Signals. As Fergus (Gus) McLachlan, AO, FRSN rightly states, “[Chief of Joint Capabilities] is really the fourth of our service chiefs. We have traditional domain chiefs for navy, army and air force, and we've had them for hundreds of years. The fourth chief is now [for] the domains that cover the new areas of human conflict.” Like so many in the space and cyber domains, I have great cause for optimism in our future. https://lnkd.in/epzks5-g

Transition Stress and Boundaries Members of the armed forces, first responders, and people who work in organizations where they have to serve or protect the general public have unique boundaries. These boundaries not only cover themselves but also the people they are there to look after. When transitioning to a civilian career, these boundaries can take time to readjust, shifting to focus more on yourself rather than others. With that adjustment may come feelings of guilt or anxiety as you become accustomed to boundaries that now wrap around only yourself instead of others as well. If you would like to find out more how we can work with you, drop us a message. #whatmakesthedifference #transitionstress #boundaries #armedforces #firstresponders

Teamwork is the cornerstone of success, whether in the civilian world or the military. In both environments, individuals come together, leveraging their unique skills and perspectives to achieve common goals and overcome challenges. In the civilian world, teamwork is evident in workplaces, community organizations, and everyday interactions. From collaborative projects to volunteer efforts, individuals collaborate to innovate, problem-solve, and drive positive change. Similarly, the military exemplifies the power of teamwork, with service members working together to fulfill missions and uphold the nation's defense. Through camaraderie, discipline, and a shared sense of purpose, military teams accomplish extraordinary feats in the face of adversity. At HOW Foundation, we recognize and celebrate the value of teamwork, bridging the perspectives of the civilian and military worlds. Today, we especially want to acknowledge and honor our partnership with Virginia-based hyperbaric oxygen therapy center, Tier 1. Women and Veteran-owned, this HBOT Center honors our veterans. They are exactly the kind of partners we seek out and are happy to include as part of our unit. Join us in honoring their dedication, unity, and commitment to excellence. Together, with the support of the Viriginia Department of Veterans Services, we have proudly served Virginia veterans suffering from brain injuries and post-traumatic stress -- making a difference in our communities and beyond. 💪🤝 #Teamwork #CivilianMilitaryUnity #HOWFoundation
