From all of us at the @specopstf, we wish you and

From all of us at the @specopstf, we wish you and your family a very happy and safe 4th of July!
#IndependenceDay is the most important day in our history and celebrates the journey we started in 1776 to be a free and independent country. The efforts of those bold Patriots and their sacrifices broke the chains that allowed us to become a free and separate nation unlike any other in the world. We are a nation of many people; people of different backgrounds, different creeds, and different origins. Let us all strive to live up to the ideals that were put on paper by those Patriots 245 years ago and celebrate our great commonality of being citizens of this great American country. On this day, we also want to extend a special thanks to our #veterans, both those who have served and those who are still serving. The independence that we enjoy today would not have been possible without their efforts, past and present. Every day, SOTF strives to recognize those honorable men and women who devoted themselves to our Nation. We take great pride in working with these #SpecialOperations heroes to provide transition services. It is our goal to ensure that this transition is successful for these amazing veterans and their families and help America’s business grow and prosper.
Happy Independence Day to all of you! Go #USA ! 🇺🇸

Last year, thanks to donors like you, when many or

Last year, thanks to donors like you, when many organizations were downsizing and reducing the services they provided, the @specopstf was able to continue providing best-in-class, personalized transition support to our Special Operations veterans in the midst of their transition process. Our program has proven to be tremendously successful and the Special Operations community has recognized our success. In the first four months of 2021, we have placed the same number of Fellows as we did in 2020 into meaningful corporate roles. We expect our placements to be double 2020's numbers overall. The numbers of operators applying to our program has also doubled in 2021. We need your help in order to continue providing them executive career counseling, mentor guidance, workshops, and networking opportunities that connect them with business leaders. In order to support this growth and continue providing the highest level of support to the operators we serve, we have established a goal of raising $100,000 this summer. We have already received a $15,000 donation to kick off our summer campaign Gratitude and Growth. Donors like you are the only ones who can make this happen. With your donation we will be able to provide the 150+ operators joining this year with the support they need. If everyone reading this donated just $20 a month...we will surpass this goal. www.sotf.org/donate

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.

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! 🇺🇸 .
