It's #transition Tuesday ! Scott Cheney recently retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the @usarmy after serving over 22 years, of which 11 years were in @75tharmyrangers. As a young Rifle Platoon Leader in 2D Ranger Battalion he learned early on that leadership sets the tone for the culture of an organization. Scott embraced that mentality throughout his career as he went on to lead Rangers at every level from Platoon Leader to Task Force Commander while deployed in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I'm grateful for the help, support, and friendships I developed during my fellowship in the @specopstf (SOTF)", said Scott. As a result of the mentorship from the SOTF team he has accepted an offer to serve as a Program Manager with Exact Sciences headquartered in Madison, WI. Congratulations, Scott 🇺🇸 Please help us in congratulating Scott!

Dear Patriots, This weekend, our Nation celebrat

Dear Patriots,
This weekend, our Nation celebrates Memorial Day to honor those men and women, all volunteers, who answered our Nation’s call to serve and carried the burden of keeping our country, our ideals and our interests safe and intact. And, in doing so, sacrificed it all for what they believe. Since our last Memorial Day, 18 great Americans have lost their lives in overseas combat and contingency operations and over a hundred others have lost their lives in the execution of their military service around the world. The willingness to sacrifice is summed up on in the last letter home from Corporal Jason Bogar, @usarmy, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2007. He wrote to his family that, “You are the reason I am here, and to give my life for that is nothing to me. My love for every-one of you is what drives me.”
This weekend, I ask that you please take pause to remember and honor this sacrifice by the over one and a half million service members since our country was founded. The America these men and women represent and the resolve they showed is why we are the great Nation we are.
The team here at the @specopstf wishes all of you a safe and healthy weekend and the hopes that you can spend it with family and friends.
God Bless America,
Tommy Stoner
SOTF CEO .

The Special Operators Transition Foundation is sad

The Special Operators Transition Foundation is saddened to hear the news of the passing of a true Patriot and friend to the organization, @foster_friess. Foster was an @usarmy veteran, a generous philanthropist, and friend to our organization and other veteran causes. Foster impacted our mission and the lives of our special operations veterans in a meaningful and lasting way through his support. His American spirit left a legacy of service that will long live on.

It's #transitiontuesday! Eric Maier recently left

It's #transitiontuesday! Eric Maier recently left the @75tharmyrangers . He grew up in the #Chicago Suburbs and graduated from @iubloomington with a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology. After graduating college, Eric knew that he wanted to serve his country and do it among the best this Nation had to offer. Being a part of the @75tharmyrangers and working every day with like minded and motivated individuals who challenged him daily was exactly what he wanted. After deploying to Afghanistan in 2019 he began to search for his new challenge in life. " @specopstf helped my #transition so much more than I could have believed. The team they have put into place is perfect for anyone in the #SOF community who is looking for ways to transition. The homework that is required of SOTF is an important way to reflect on your military career and see how those skills can be translated and also be valued in the civilian world. This program took any of my fear of transitioning out of the @usarmy. They have mastered their craft and is a great organization to be apart of. I can’t wait to continue my journey with the team in the future." Please help us in thanking Eric for his service to our great Nation and congratulating him on his successful transition to his next great career with @amazon . 🇺🇸 .

It’s #transitionTuesday! Please meet John Trimble, a former Special Forces Major who served in @7thspecialforcesgroup. When asked which aspects of the @specopstf program helped him with his transition, John said, "The executive coaching gave me a level of focus and preparation that allowed me to capitalize on networking opportunities provided by the SOTF program. After receiving offers from different firms in my desired location and field, I was able to work with SOTF mentors to evaluate, negotiate, and decide on the best opportunity.” We are thrilled to share that John will has been hired as an Investment Banking Associate at @truist Securities! His new role will provide a challenging and dynamic environment that melds leadership experience, built working in special operations, and quantitative skills learned in graduate school. Congratulations, John, we’re thrilled for you! 🇺🇸 .

It's #transitiontuesday. The first call that Jason

It's #transitiontuesday. The first call that Jason Kirby made after his decision to transition from the @usairforce Special Operations was to Tommy Stoner, SOTF CEO. By the end of that week, Jason began networking through SOTF at their Destin event. When we asked Jason about his transition experience he said, "Every step of the way, the @specopstf has been there for me and so many other special operators as we chart a course on a very personal and critical journey to the next chapter. SOTF gave me the confidence and clarity I needed to perform at my very best. I intentionally gave myself an aggressive transition timeline, building my network seven days a week and conducting a minimum of one networking or informational interview zoom call 4-5x per week at a minimum. I enjoyed every conversation and the chance to hone my skills. Over the next several months, I began to see my network developing leads and opportunities that I could never have predicted. I was blown away by how many people, from all kinds of backgrounds were so willing to give their time to a stranger, solely based on my special ops/military background and a kind introduction by a shared connection. By the end of January, I had received 5 Skillbridge offers, all within the drone and technology sector...and they were all truly viable options that would likely lead to a compensated position. I was offered a position with @accreteai as Chief of Staff in Manhattan. After speaking with the leadership team and understanding the incredible technology they have developed, there was no question in my mind that this was an ideal position for me. The culture is innovative, committed, and fun. We work long hours...we work on weekends when we have to...whatever it takes...we are a rapidly developing company and I would not want it any other way. Everyone on this team is 110% committed. They have shattered my expectations of what the private sector would be like - I am truly amazed. SOTF prepared me better than I realized and I will always appreciate their commitment to me and so many others. I look forward to the opportunity to give back.” Please help us in congratulating Jason!

It's #transitionTuesday! Christian Ruf recently separated from the @usarmy after 10 years of service. His most recent position was as a MH-60M DAP aviator and Operations Officer with 1st Battalion, @go160thsoar 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) Recruiting Team. Christian discovered the @specopstf through a peer and quickly immersed himself in the abundant resources, thorough mentorship, and vast networking that the foundation provides. "With SOTF's help, I was able to hone in on my ability to convey my experience in leading teams and solving complex problems to potential employers. The SOTF mentorship also helped me navigate multiple offers within the healthcare industry in Nashville," Christian said. Please help us in congratulating Christian as he recently accepted the Chief of Staff position at @completehealthtn. 🇺🇸 .

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, the Special Operat

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, the Special Operators Transition Foundation recognizes and applauds the significant contributions that African Americans have made, and continue to make, to our Nation to ensure we live up to the ideals that were framed in our Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal.” The Special Operators Transition Foundation honors Sergeant First Class William Maud Bryant. SFC Bryant distinguished himself while serving as commanding officer of Civilian Irregular Defense Group Company 321, 2d Battalion, 3d Mobile Strike Force Command. His unit came under heavy fire and became surrounded by three enemy regiments, resulting in 34 hours of incessant attacks. SFC Bryant circulated constantly to improve his company’s defense and rally his troops, all under heavy fire. He led multiple patrols outside of the perimeter wire, gathering information and repulsing enemy assaults. In a final patrol to break through the enemy encirclement, and after being severely wounded from intense automatic weapons fire, SFC Bryant directed heavy helicopter and suppressive fire upon the enemy positions, and fearlessly charged an enemy automatic-weapons position, singlehandedly destroying its three defenders. While preparing for a final assault, he fell mortally wounded by an enemy rocket. For the full Congressional Medal of Honor Society listing:

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, the Special Operators Transition Foundation recognizes and applauds the significant contributions that African Americans have made, and continue to make, to our Nation to ensure we live up to the ideals that were framed in our Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal.” The Special Operators Transition Foundation salutes Master Chief William Goines, the first African American modern-day @usnavy #SEAL. He enlisted in the Navy in 1955, training in underwater demolition, and later joined SEAL Team Two upon its establishment in 1962, training with all branches of the armed forces. Once operational, his team was tasked with infiltrating #Cuba in the event of a crisis there. He served three tours in #Vietnam, leading armed Vietnamese on combat operations. In 1976, he was selected to become part of the Chuting Stars, a U.S. Navy Parachute Demonstration Team. He performed 640 jumps during his five years on the team. During one jump in Pennsylvania, he landed wrong on a hill and "smashed all the cartilage" in his knees. In 1987, he retired from the Navy as a Master Chief Petty Officer after 32 years of service. Bravo Zulu! 🇺🇸 .
