It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Recently retired

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Recently retired veteran #GreenBeret James Mayernik served distinguishably during his 27-year career. He is currently in a program manager role supporting the @usairforce Armament Directorate at Eglin AFB, FL, with the HX5 Corporation.
James spent 23-years in Special Operations, with most of that time in the @7thspecialforcesgroup located at Ft. Bragg, NC, and Eglin AFB, FL. He deployed numerous times throughout South America to strengthen strategic relationships with our allies and in support of protecting the U.S. Southern borders. Moreover, he served multiple times in the Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) mission, where he was wounded in combat.
"During my last year of active duty, I became part of the @specopstf (SOTF). The organization guided me in the area I struggled with most, taking my military skillsets and demonstrating how those experiences are relevant to the job market. The year-long program began with identifying my personality type, strengths, weaknesses, and the type of working environment that I would thrive most. The tailored individual counseling and interview practice sessions were critical to my transition success. In addition, the SOTF events brought real-world engagements with business professionals and the opportunity for me to employ these new skillsets.", says James.
James is looking forward to joining the growing ranks of SOTF Alumni and giving back to future Special Operations veterans in transition.
Please help us in congratulating James!

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Nate Scopac grew

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Nate Scopac grew up in Connecticut, following in his stepfather’s footsteps, he attended the @usairforceacademy, where he studied economics and foreign languages. After graduating in 1997, he attended Undergraduate Navigator Training. He was selected to fly the storied MC-130E Combat Talon. After 2 years as a navigator, he applied for and was accepted to Undergraduate Pilot Training. He earned his pilot wings in 2003 and returned back to the @usairforce Special Operations Command as an MC-130P and later an MC-130J pilot.
He deployed numerous times as both an aircraft commander and instructor pilot to both OEF and OIF. He was the @unitedstatesafsoc nominee for the 2009 Aviation Valor award and 2010 Lt. Gen William H. Tunner Award for missions in Afghanistan. He was assigned to the US Military Delegation to NATO in Belgium, where he worked on developing the new NATO strategy, and represented the US during the negotiations for withdrawing from the INF treaty. His final deployment was to Afghanistan where he commanded the Joint Special Operations Air Component during both the COVID -19 pandemic and the initial phases of the US drawdown.
During his distinguished career, he commanded at the squadron, group, and expeditionary wing level. His final assignment was commanding 7 squadrons, and 2 detachments across 3 bases made up of 1200 people conducting flight training, operational testing, rapid capability development, and SOF education and professional development. A glutton for academic punishment, during his last year on active duty, Nate attended the Fletcher School at @tuftsuniversity - Law and Diplomacy’s Global Business Administration Master’s program.
Nate brings polished leadership to global organizations by focusing on strategy and leadership development. He is excited to put his 25 years of military experience to use in the civilian world.
We’re happy to announce that Nate has accepted a role as the Senior Sales Manager for Head Mounted Displays at @collinsaerospace. #afsoc #airforce #transition #specialoperations #patriots

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Dalton Daly enli

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Dalton Daly enlisted in the @usarmy weeks after he graduated from @rutgersu with a bachelor’s degree in Economics in 2017. From there he served as an infantryman in the 3rd Ranger Battalion, @75tharmyrangers Regiment; where he would later deploy to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.
He enjoyed the competitive nature of his unit, as it was made up of all volunteers yet held the highest standards in the Army for its members. This continuous goal of bettering himself led him to his application and acceptance into the Special Operators Transition Foundation.
"As I transitioned out of the military over the past year, I worked hard with the @specopstf. The biggest tool that SOTF has offered me was the undivided attention from the personal mentors for each phase of the process. They truly care about each individual operator’s success.”, said Dalton. Shortly after his final day of Active-Duty service, Dalton accepted the position of Regional Manager at @curativeinc in Chicago, IL. This healthcare company has placed a large emphasis on software superiority, creating the challenging and kinetic work environment that Dalton was seeking after leaving the military.
Please help us in thanking Dalton for his service to our great Nation and congratulating him on his transition to the private sector.

#vietnamwarveteransday Today and every day, we honor their bravery and commitment and give thanks to a generation of Americans who valiantly fought in service of the country they love while recognizing the continuing impact on so many veterans of the Vietnam conflict, along with their families, caregivers, and survivors. We will always remember those we lost and honor those who came home.

@usarmy Special Forces (commonly known as the Gree

@usarmy Special Forces (commonly known as the Green Berets) helped trained the Ukrainian military to offer fierce resistance to Russian attacks. The Green Berets worked as a multifunctional team in a complex, multi-cultural, and highly politically charged environment. Getting things done with minimal resources on hand, even in the face of daunting odds, is a trait inherent in all special operators. If you’re looking for this kind of talent for your team, contact us. The special operators we assist – Green Berets or otherwise – bring valuable skills and experience to any organization.

On March 17, 2022, we conducted a Veteran's transition workshop in Nashville. For the Special Operators, the workshop was intended to help them translate their #military experience into terms that align to businesses core competencies. Once #veterans understand how to make these correlations, they can begin to gain positive traction in informational conversations and job interviews.
To showcase the #Nashville community and provide a space for these conversations, SOTF had great patriots from a variety of industries, and employers to speak to the Special Operations Veterans who want to settle in Nashville.
SOTF CEO Tommy Stoner says, “Businesses are struggling to find talent in the midst of the Great Resignation. Through events like this, we help Special Operators learn more about opportunities in the Nashville area.”
Thank you to @osdtn for your continued support and hospitality, @missionbbq for serving us the most authentic, mouth-watering all-American food, SOTF alumni, Kyle DeVenezia, Christian Ruf and Josh Martin, Zachary Leggett, Orin Brown for giving back to our fellows, Andrew Maisano, Luke Pierce, Brent Young, Valerie Chambers, Michael Sweeney, Julie Myers, Terry Pevehouse Jr, Aaron Martin, CPM, and Anson Lewis - we are very grateful for the continued support out of the Nashville community and look forward to coming back in September!

The Special Operators Transition Foundation would like to thank the Lauderdale Yacht Club for hosting and supporting our March 4th and 5th events.
The eleven Operators who attended the event had over 200 years of combined service to our Nation in over 70 countries throughout the world, solving some of the most complex problems in the most challenging environments.
The funds we raised will go directly to the programming efforts to support our mission and the Special Operators. The investment in donations and career support from the LYC members will help us meet that mission.

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Valentine Taylor

It's #militarytransition Tuesday! Valentine Taylor recently separated from the @usarmy after serving as an Infantryman in 3rd Ranger Battalion. He enlisted after graduating from the @oxford_uni and gaining work experience in corporate finance in London. Valentine has always liked to challenge himself and wanted to serve alongside motivated and highly skilled leaders. During his time in The 75th Ranger Regiment, Valentine was promoted to Senior Fire Team Leader and deployed three times, to Afghanistan and to Syria.

Please help us in congratulating, Valentine! 🇺🇸
