July kicks off our month-long Nā Koa Kahiko veterans impact event. This event supports veterans and their families in communities where we work. As a federal contractor with many military veterans within our ‘ohana, this event is incredibly important to us, and we have a kuleana to care for the veterans in our communities. Nā Koa Kahiko (veterans/warriors of the past) was created to serve the Fisher House Foundation and other organizations that assist veterans across the country. For more than 30 years, the Fisher House program has provided a home for families of patients receiving medical care at military and VA medical centers. These homes offer free, temporary lodging to military and veteran families, allowing them to be close to their loved ones during a medical crisis. There are 97 Fisher Houses located in the US, Germany, and the United Kingdom. To date, more than 500,000 families have been served. During the month, DAWSON ‘ohana will be participating in multiple events supporting veterans and we’ll be sharing those stories with you. #Veterans #Military #Ohana #Kuleana #FisherHouse #Impact #OneDAWSON

There will be a day not long from now, when your military service will be but a chapter in your life story. Some of you are leaving the service soon. Maybe at the end of this month, next month, the start of the new year. The idea of no longer solely identifying as a service member may seem impossible when you're standing at PT formation at 0630 for another battalion run. But the day is coming. Whether you're the most senior General or the most junior Airman, assuming the very best of health for you, you will spend more time as a civilian post-military than you did as a service member. The best way to prepare is to network with others who've already made the transition, and in particular those doing what you may want to do. When is the best time to start networking? Yesterday. The next best time? Today. Veterans helped me turn the page on my last chapter when I retired from the service four years ago. They can for you too. I've heard people I respect share how while their service was and will forever be an integral part of their foundation, they are no longer constrained by that identity. Embrace the change even if it's scary. Every single person who ever served in uniform left at some point. You're going to be ok. Reach out to veterans. Reach out to me. What other advice do my fellow veterans have for people in transition? #veteranshelpingveterans #militarytransition #milspouses #veterans #jvknows

Building a brand helped me so much to becoming financially free. It simply started out by having a convo with @beardybrandon years ago when I was still active duty and stationed in Hawaii. He recommended that I just share my story and my journey with what I was doing. I started sharing who I was online, sharing free content, and from there was able t build a brand that's helped me be financially free and help thousands of veterans and service members. Don't overthink it. Just start sharing your story with others, make content about, and stay consistent with it. #realestateinvestors #militarytomillionaire #realestateinvesting #usmilitary #usveterans #militaryveterans #militaryservicemembers #financialeducation #financialliteracy #financialfreedom #activedutymilitary #investingtips101 #militarylife #militarylifestyle

Happy Wednesday to my fellow military #veterans out there. Today I got in a 3 mile walk to help me stay active. I know many veterans have a variety of struggles and it can be tough to stay active for many reasons. Do what you can to be better tomorrow than you are today. Whether it’s getting in a few more steps each day, reading a book, taking a college class, or whatever works for you. You’ll be better for it. What did you do today to improve in some capacity? #healthylifestyle #stayactive #wednesdayinspiration #militaryveterans #growthmindset #selfimprovement

Our passion is to help the military community… Brian Arrington M.S., MBA Candidate started Vets2Industry to provide a free resource library for the military community – active, guard, reserve, veteran, military-spouse, dependent children, Blue-Star & Gold-Star Families, and caregivers – so they know which organizations provide free services and benefits. Vets2Industry also serves to break the circle of ignorance by listing companies that have opportunities for veterans, those that have specific military hiring programs, those that are on the 100 Military Friendly companies list, and those that selflessly provide Fortune 500 mentors for a year to transitioning service members through their partnership with American Corporate Partners. The goal is to educate all 220,000 to 240,000 transitioning service members each year and their dependents on free resources to ease their transition and life needs, and more importantly, provide hope. https://bit.ly/3EZNCui Vets2Industry - Providing knowledge, connections, opportunities, and more importantly, HOPE!

CEO, Co-Founder & Co-Host VET S.O.S. Podcast | We educate veterans, service members, and MILSpouses on the services available to them during life's transitions | Veteran & MILSpouse Advocate | Army Veteran
Have you had those days where you just beat yourself up over something? We all have at some point. During military transition, there can be several of those days for many different reasons. A few popular ones are: ❌ The job search ❌ Unsure about decision to get out of military ❌ Imposter syndrome and there are so many more! I'm here to tell you that everyone of us who has transitioned out of the military has had days like these. You cannot let these frustrations get you down. Whatever your struggle is during a transition, it is nothing more than a speed bump. The adversity, albeit frustrating, will make you stronger. You have too many people supporting you and wanting to see you succeed like your family, your friends, and all these veterans out here who went through it too. Use us for the support we can be. My advice to anyone having one of those days... Get up tomorrow and try again! Tomorrow is another day full of endless possibilities. Reach out to your support channels and go get it! #vetsos #veteran #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans #veterantransition #military #militarytransition #militaryspouse #militaryspouses #transitioningservicemembers #transitioningmilitary #transitioningveterans

Something to think about

Your past is not your purpose. What are you going to do with today and future days? For all my transitioning service members, never forget your time in service and the things you did to become who you are. It is a wonderful chapter in your life. But now it is time to figure out what is coming next for you. It is time to put in the work to figure out who you are, what you want to do next, and where to do it. It can be a scary process. That is okay. So were your first few days in the military. You made it through them, you will make it through the transition process too. It will take hard work and time just like it did in service. You got this! Most importantly, you do not have to do this alone. There are plenty of people and organizations ready and willing to assist you. #military #veterans #militaryspouse #veteranshelpingveterans #militarytransition #BruceTalk

It frustrates me that I can't find quality data on UK veteran employment. So, I'm hoping the UK military community can help. LinkedIn reported in 2019 that: 1️⃣ 33% of US veterans are underemployed 2️⃣ US veterans are 15.6% more likely to be underemployed than non-veterans 3️⃣ US veterans are 70% more likely than non-veterans to take a step back in seniority 4️⃣ US veterans are 36% less likely to make a seniority jump 5️⃣ US veterans are 39% more likely to move into a leadership role within their first three years. This is great info, but where are the UK stats? UK veterans, please can you help us get a better picture: 👇🏼 Answer the 4 questions in the form in the comments 👍🏼 Like this post so that more vets see it #veterans #military #careergrowth

1moMahalo Nui for your support! The Fisher House at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center took in my ohana from Hawaii while my father was hospitalized. It was the perfect accommodation for them as they could take the shuttle to visit him without having a car or worry about having a sponsor to get them on/off campus. It also relieved them of some financial burden not knowing how long they would need to stay. Ultimately, Dad passed on Veterans Day at 90 years young. #USArmy #HawaiiNoKaOi #Veterans #UniversityofHawaii
