"A ship is safe in port, but that's not what ships are for."

By leaving a tribe that's been safe harbor for many years, we risk a lot.

A military transition is a big step with high stakes. It's about more than just figuring out a new career path, pay scales, and cleaning up your salty language for civilian audiences. By leaving a tribe that's been safe harbor for many years, we risk a lot, but the potential rewards are great. For more on this, check out Sebastian Junger's Tribe, and this video from his leadership program at Columbia University.

We Believe in Flight with Purpose

OUR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IS WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

We Believe in helping you forge a lifelong fulfilling career in avation!

 

Below is a sample of the themes and resources we explore in our career mentorship program.

1) BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TEST

Any active-duty service member can participate with approval from their chain of command. Veterans already discharged or retired from active duty and their spouses are also eligible. You can take the Big Five Test online.

2) BRIEF STRENGTHS TEST

The Brief Strengths Test at UPENN's Authentic Happiness Project sheds light on your unique strengths. Exercising these strengths regularly can bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment. You'll have to create an account (it's free).

3) VETERAN BENEFITS BY STATE

Thinking about where to settle down as a civilian? This website by the Center for a New American Security summarizes veteran benefits in each state.

4) MATCHING YOUR ACTIVE DUTY INCOME

Be smart about building your personal budget after you separate. Use this calculator to find out how much do you need to earn as a civilian in order to match your current active-duty income. 

5) WRITING RESUMES & COVER LETTERS

Here are some resources to get you started. We also provide career counseling and placement services to all our students and alumni.
