I've had the privilege of serving as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) for the past 6 years, an experience that has left an ingrained mark on my life. I cherish how it taught me to navigate not just the seas but also the intricacies of leadership within any department or division, a skill I consider invaluable. The thrill of driving a half-billion-dollar warship and facing challenges that few can relate to has been both exhilarating and humbling. It honed my ability to communicate effectively up and down the chain of command, fostering teamwork and coordination among peers. While I'm profoundly grateful for the skills and experiences I've gained as a SWO, I also came to a personal realization. There were moments when the mission took precedence, even if it meant making difficult decisions that didn't always align with putting my Sailors first. That inner conflict weighed on me. It was during this reflection that I discovered my true passion: people. I aspire to dedicate my career to a mission where there's no need for compromise, where the mission itself is centered on people. This realization is what's driving my transition into healthcare administration. In this field, the mission inherently revolves around improving the lives of others, aligning perfectly with my deep-rooted passion. I'm excited to embark on this new journey, where I can leverage the skills learned as a SWO to make a lasting impact on people's lives. Here's to the future, where every decision, every action, is dedicated to the well-being of those I have the privilege to serve. #CareerChange #HealthcareAdministration #PassionForPeople #NewBeginnings

Read our next inspiring #Veteran spotlight on David, Security Specialist at AIS! “I was going through a stressful period in my early twenties and was unsure about my future. As I was trying to figure things out, my stepfather, a Vietnam veteran, recommended enlisting in the United States Air Force to help give me the foundation I needed. I can still hear him saying, 'The time is going to pass anyway, what else do you have going on?' I thought about that remark over the following month and decided to go for it. In 1998, this 22-year-old Yonkers native was sent to his first duty station, Langley AFB, loading munitions and troubleshooting the leaking pig they called the F-15. About four months later, I left my wife behind on my first deployment, all while unknowingly setting the stage for a demanding, yet rewarding, profession for the next 20 years. During my first assignment, I found myself supervising others who were not much younger than I was. You realize there is more to life when you are put into a leadership role at an early age. You take the blame for others’ mistakes and reward the crew for your accomplishments. I learned not just to become self-sufficient, but to be part of a team, leaning on others when needed to complete an objective. Although I have been retired for the last six years, there have been many times where I felt that I am still transitioning. My post-military life wasn’t seamless, and I felt lost at times along this new path. I joined AIS in 2019 and my department has been there each step of the way. We all understand what it means to be a Veteran and we support one other at every turn.” David’s advice to fellow veterans seeking a successful career in the civilian workforce: Take the journey in stride, stay positive and don’t let ego get in your way. Decide what you really want out of life and make that your goal. It might take some time to get there but don’t give up. Whether you served for four years or 20, make the next chapter worth it. During your service, many choices were most likely already made for you, but this time around, you have the opportunity to create your own. Combine your skills and values with what you love doing and go get it. Read all of this year's spotlights: https://lnkd.in/ezGxmjp9

The tradition of reenlisting in the military often carries a sense of solemnity and pride, marking a continued commitment to service and country. However, over the years, this tradition has taken on an additional layer of uniqueness, with many service members choosing to reenlist in locations that are anything but ordinary. These unconventional reenlistment ceremonies have become a way for service members to personalize this significant moment, blending the gravity of their oath with the spirit of adventure that often characterizes military life. The reasons behind choosing such extraordinary locations for reenlistment vary from personal significance to the desire for an unforgettable experience. For some, it’s about reenlisting at a place that reflects their military journey or aspirations. For instance, a Navy diver might choose to reenlist underwater, signifying a deep connection to their role and the environment in which they operate. Others may seek to highlight the unique aspects of their service—such as soldiers reenlisting while freefalling from an aircraft. The tradition of reenlisting in odd places also reflects the adaptability and resilience inherent in military culture. It showcases how service members, even while making a serious commitment, can adapt to any environment, finding meaningful ways to celebrate their dedication. These ceremonies, often shared on social media, not only highlight the individual’s commitment but also shine a light on the diverse and dynamic nature of military life, inspiring others with their creativity and depth of commitment. Whether it’s on the wing of an airplane, beneath the sea, or atop a mountain, these reenlistment ceremonies exemplify the extraordinary lengths to which service members go to honor their pledge to serve, making the moment truly their own in the vast array of settings the world has to offer. #supportvets #hiremorevets Infrastructure Masons Compass Datacenters

Yesterday my brother, Seth shipped out to boot camp for the Marines. I couldn't be prouder of the man he's become and can't wait to see what God does through him. Throughout this process of waiting for him to leave, soaking up all the moments, saying goodbye and then having him gone, I couldn't help but be inspired by his passion, excited and determination. I think it goes without saying that joining the marines is a HUGE challenge. Although an extremely intimidating task, Seth has only focused on his excitement to join and about the growth he will have through the challenge. Yes, there will be many many challenging, painful experiences he goes through at bootcamp and beyond, but he only ever looks at it through a positive perspective. As I sit in my office thinking about this, I wonder how things could change if we all faced challenges this way. I know we aren't all going into the marines, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't face each work day with the same tenacity, positivity and excitement to go through even the least desirable parts of our day. This is because at the end of the day, the pains we feel on the day to day are growing pains. What is challenging can ultimately lead to the best opportunities or success, and having a positive outlook on it can change everything. So how will you approach your challenges today? We may not be able to change what happens to us, or what obstacles we face, but we can absolutely change our approach to it. Go out there and have a great day everyone!:)

“Work as hard as you can even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work” - Naval During the early days of my career, sometimes my colleagues and I would go to work and not get back home for days. Its from the office to a hotel and back to the office, next thing you are on a plane out of town without seeing your family for weeks. It was not always like that, but on the days when it came it was intense. What is the value of all that HARD work today ? Watch till the end #careercoaching #workethics

🌟 Transitioning from the military to a civilian role often feels like embarking on a new mission, akin to a Permanent Change of Station (PCS). 🌟 Here are some guiding principles I learned more about last night from Form100Consulting and Wimmer Solutions that I'm committed to following: 1. First Impressions Matter: Just like arriving at a new duty station, day one sets the tone. It's about showing up as approachable and attentive, taking note of names and roles, and absorbing everything like a sponge. 2. No Need to Be the Hero: Resist the urge to swoop in and change everything right away. Instead, observe, learn, and adapt. As Ted Lasso wisely puts it, "Be curious, not judgmental." 3. Embrace the Awkwardness: Veterans excel at navigating uncomfortable situations. Lean into it. Ask questions, connect with people, and remember, awkwardness is just familiarity waiting to happen. 4. Master Your Craft: Dive deep into your new role. Study policies, procedures, and org charts. Seek out knowledge and then strive to exceed expectations. 5. Smile More: A simple yet powerful gesture. A welcoming demeanor can open doors to new opportunities and forge meaningful connections. That's the gist. Here's to embracing the journey ahead with enthusiasm and purpose. Add your suggestions down below. Until next time. ✌️ 🚀 #NewBeginnings #TransitionSuccess #MilitaryTransition #VeteransInBusiness
