We are proud to partner with 51 Vets, which helps veterans transitioning to civilian life connect with business professionals in the private sector.

Well said... And totally agree: open innovation is messy and not efficient...And that's the beauty of it. Your team has demonstrated that bottom-up (open innovation) is as necessary and can be as relevant as "directed" S&T innovation and probably more valuable. Adaptability is a #culture problem that technology will not solve. It's the speed to embrace change that will be the defining characteristic for relevant military organisations in the future. People create & sustain this culture and Project Mercury Innovators Forum is in my opinion an excellent enabler to facilitate this mindset.
Today our team, the Prismatic Unicorns, closed out the Project Mercury Innovators Forum Innovation Showcase alongside our Cohort-12 colleagues and defense community in front of a live audience of executives in professional military education, innovation leadership, and joint warfighting. We presented the operational problem set of the Pacific and the gaps and challenges with Agile Combat Employment, sensing far forward in the battlespace, and making meaning from that data quickly at echelon. Our mobile device enabled solution, called Echolink, provides *Redundancy and *Resiliency at an inexpensive, fast, and scalable *Rate, leveraging *Real existing technology against *Real problem sets. Extremely humbled to have our sponsor, 16th Air Force, join the showcase and issue some tough questions for us to defend the desirability, feasibility, and viability of the concept. Enlisting so many different experts and stakeholders throughout this 12+ week curriculum helped us address those concerns in confidence, even after a big pivot in week 6. I really hope we can transition this front-end innovation for back-end development and diffusion to the rest of the Joint Force and our Allies and Partners. To that last portion, and doing this journey with new-found friends across the Department of the Air Force, made this the most impactful professional military education #PME curriculum I have completed. It's learning strategy, creative problem solving, and entrepreneurship by doing the work firsthand as a practitioner. #militaryeducation Not just in a safe academic environment, but in the real world where you must put skin in the game, if nothing but reputational risk and unpaid time and energy. I learned that innovation is hard. It's inefficient and it takes discipline. You need to be intentional to find the hidden order and opportunity despite being in a complex environment, operating with ambiguous direction, and thinking divergently. Clausewitz would call this military genius. To see it through despite many quick, fast-learning failures, from interviews, to experiments, to sponsor pitches, you need persistence. Marine drill instructors would call this discipline and spirit - the hallmarks of a Marine.

Each of us holds a unique narrative within, possessing the power to craft the journey that lies ahead. A significant chapter of my own story has been the journey of self-discovery, understanding my beliefs and values. In the realm of motherhood, it’s easy to lose oneself in the act of nurturing and providing for others. Now, the time has come for me to take the reins and embark on the next chapter of my life. I am thrilled to have met Dr. Chaunté Hall, who introduced me to the "Discovering Your Post-Service Identity (DYPSI)" program. This innovative 8-week initiative, designed to address the challenges faced by military veterans during their transition to civilian life, is a collaborative program brought to you by Centurion Military Alliance and Operation Military Family. As a veteran who transitioned in 2011, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate a new career field. That's why I'm excited to share that the DYPSI program is helping me craft my new story! Through one-on-one transition training sessions, I've been able to discover my post-service identity and empower myself on this journey. If you're interested in learning more about DYPSI and discovering your "why," I highly recommend checking out this program. Let's all take the reins and embark on the next chapter of our lives! Come learn from Mike Schindler and unlock your future! Dr. Chaunté Hall NPower Chris Manning (CNSS) Nathaniel Chaney, MRC #makingconnections #bridgethegap #buildingblocks #veteransupport

Today, as we celebrate love in all its forms, let's take a moment to reflect on the unique aspects of our military experience. What we love about our military service... Comradery: Lifelong friendships and support. Resilience: Overcoming adversity and learning to thrive in it. Leadership: Honed leadership skills that serve you in and out of the uniform. Purpose: Serving something greater than oneself. Global Perspective: Broadened worldviews from diverse interactions. Discipline: Unmatched focus and organization. Adventure: Unique travel and exploration opportunities. Skills: Valuable technical, tactical, and leadership training. Service to Nation: Pride in protecting freedom and values. Legacy: Continuing a proud tradition of service. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. ❤️ At Vets2PM, we love what we do. We love serving you. We love helping you achieve meaningful, lucrative post-service careers. Thank you for allowing us to serve you. #militarytransition #dodskillbridge #skillbridge

Retired Marine and former Corporate leader. I tell stories of my corporate life to help others better understand the true culture of large corporations.
I was asked what career fields, in my experience, were Veterans most happy. Thought I would provide a list of very broad career fields. First and last were no brainers. #militarytransition #veteranshelpingveterans #veterans #marines #leadership Happy to Sad: 1. Business owners-make your own rules. Hire people that think like you. 2. Law enforcement/First responders-team mentality, giving back, making a difference. 3. Government-low stress, little supervision, plug along to retirement. 4. Small business-Direct line to the owner if you have an issue. 5. Large corporations-Office politics, horrible leaders, lack of true values. Your Thoughts?
