For the last 3 years, we have repeatedly been asked to design an online community for service members and their spouses, and although we gave it serious consideration, our design folks quickly realized that it would be a huge undertaking, and the last thing we wanted to do was put...

The VA estimates that 22 veterans commit suicide every day, or just over 8,000 a year, and in 2012, 349 active duty service members also took their own lives, which is a greater number than those who died in combat. We can debate all we want about the...

We called it Deployed 2 Employed, and it consisted of working one to one with soon to transitioning service members to prepare them for the civilian job...

Every year, approximately 200,000 men and women leave the military, and look to further their career in the civilian job market.

The tragedy at Sandy Hook last Friday is yet another example of just how unprotected our children are when we send them off to school, and should be a wakeup call to the nation that we all need to step up our efforts...

Ask anyone who has served in the military, especially in a war zone, and they will tell you the key to any mission is great preparation. The military takes the "measure twice and cut once" method to a whole new level. Soldiers prepare daily in many cases for a mission...

We work with many of the country's biggest employers who are looking to recruit our nation's finest every day.
