As a transitioning SGM with over 20 years of service I knew I would be required to acclimate to an entire different culture. THF was there to highlight areas of transition into the private sector that simply never occurred to me. I now have a better understanding of how to stand out in the private sector than I ever did before.

THF is an amazing opportunity and a generous gift to the SOF Community. All leaders, administrators, guests and volunteers were top notch and helped greatly in this critical time of transition. I couldn’t be more grateful for this experience and would recommend The Honor Foundation to any transitioning SOF veteran regardless of age, rank or time served.

The Honor Foundation was a thoroughly enjoyable and eye opening experience. While I enjoyed finding my WHY statement, I found the mock interviews and networking experiences to be the highlight. Hearing both veteran and non-veteran stories and insights about employment and life have enriched my journey. Trust the process!

At first, The Honor Foundation seemed like a daunting endeavor. Balancing three months of intensive work with my full-time job was no small ask. However, I knew I was lost in my transition, and chose to make the commitment. Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful that I did.

THF’s approach resonated deeply with me. Starting with why, they delved into the core of our motivations, helping us understand our true purpose as individuals, not just operators or employees. This insight directed us toward finding fulfilling career pathways.

I wholeheartedly recommend The Honor Foundation to any of my fellow Special Operations Forces (SOF) who may be struggling to find their next “mountain to climb”. Let THF be your guide, embrace the process, put in the work, and you’re guaranteed to come out in a better place than you started.

The THF virtual program came to me at the perfect time, just as I was starting to feel overwhelmed with a pending retirement. The program covered everything I needed, in just the right amount, to help me move through re-thinking my “why,” encourage me to create a process of outreach/networking, and help reinforce my belief that I’ll be able to find a mission with impact outside of the military. The THF team is phenomenal and I can’t thank the staff, volunteers, and my classmates enough.
