Today, and every day, we give thanks for our loyal supporters, hiring partners, staff and our veterans. May you all enjoy a day full of family, friends and food! Happy Thanksgiving from Team SOTF. #agratefulNation

We are proud to announce that our partners at the @greenberetfoundation (GBF) have received accreditation by the @deptvetaffairs (VA) as a Veteran Service Organization (VSO), and recognized by the Department of VA Office of General Counsel for the purpose of preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims under laws administered by the VA. This is another impressive milestone from an organization dedicated to supporting our Special Forces service members and their families and is the result of a lot of hard work by the GBF team. It is important to note that this makes the GBF the sole special operations benevolent organization serving as a VA-accredited VSO. We encourage our @specopstf Special Forces Fellows to reach out to the Green Beret Foundation and their Next Ridgeline Program as they are preparing their VA claims as a part of their transition.

Fantastic event last night @manursingislandclub. Many thanks to our gracious hosts, Mark and Carolyn Whaling. We greatly appreciate the patriots who came out to support our Special Operators.

On this day nineteen years ago, 3,873 Americans lost their lives in an act of hate. Time stood still for this great Nation on September 11th, 2001; we can all remember where we were when we heard the news of the terrorist attack on our Nation. Out of that hate came bravery and unity. Countless first responders and average citizens risked, and in many cases, gave their lives to save the lives of strangers in peril and need. They put race, color, creed and religion aside for the common cause of saving and helping our fellow citizens. Special operations forces soon joined by putting their lives on the line by being the first service members on the ground in response to these attacks.
Today is Patriots Day. Today is the day we honor those who lost their lives in this terrible attack. We also honor those who put their lives on the line to serve others; the thousands of first responders and service members on the front lines every day, protect our families, ideals and livelihoods.
Thank you for joining us in remembrance of those lost lives and those who still stand to protect us.
God bless America.

It's #TransitionTuesday Growing up in sunny Huntington Beach, California, Zachary Leggett consistently looked for opportunities to serve his community and country. After joining the @usarmy in 1998, he began his career as an infantryman in the @2ndrangerbattalion at Fort Lewis, Washington. Following the terror attacks on September 11th, 2001, he completed the Special Forces Qualification Course as a Special Forces Medic and immediately deployed to the first of his 9 combat deployments with the storied @5th_sfg_official. In 2010, he was selected from his peers to become a Special Forces Warrant Officer, leading Special Forces Detachments and serving as Operations Director for several joint task forces with over 650 personnel operating across the Middle East. "The @specopstf was instrumental in helping me adapt the skills and experience that made me successful in the military to deliver value in the private sector," says Zach.

#transformationtuesday Zachary Venning began his military career upon graduating high school in Douglasville, Georgia. He worked as a chemical reconnaissance specialist in Schweinfurt, Germany, for three years, while completing his undergraduate degree from @postuniversity. With the desire to do more for his country, Zach decided to attend the Special Operations, Psychological Operations Assessment and Selection course at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Upon being selected, Zach was assigned to the 5th Phycological Operations Battalion, where he deployed throughout South-East Asia. He primarily focused on combating terrorism utilizing non-lethal methods. His engagements throughout the region led to long-lasting relationships and the achievement of strategic goals. With over six years of operational experience he decided to utilize his passion for building relationships, to pursue a career in financial services. Having completed his second @usarmy contract he decided to pursue and complete a Master of Business Administration, focusing in finance, at @ncstate. His drive and determination then led to him securing an internship with Dunning Capital in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Learning of a @specopstf event in Charlotte, Zach reached out to learn more about the organization and seek the opportunity to become a fellow. Through the coaching and mentorship provided, he learned how to utilize his talent to attract high performing companies within the financial services industry. Through the mentorship and network of SOTF, Zach has accepted the position of Virtual Engagement Associate - Strategy with @morgan.stanley Private Wealth Management office in Purchase, New York.
Congratulations Zach! We are very excited for you and your family. 🇺🇸

It's #transformationtuesday! Nick Jones, a @usarmy

It's #transformationtuesday! Nick Jones, a @usarmy @5th_sfg_official Green Beret, had committed to transition out in the vicinity of @nashvilletn so his wife could complete her graduate degree. Nick's career search coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Fortunately, he received multiple offers of employment, and with the help of @specopstf transition program, he was able to make an informed decision to join Consolidated Nuclear Security in Oak Ridge, TN as a System Engineer in the manufacturing environment. Nick will put his mechanical engineering degree to good use not only through maintaining the health and performance of the system, but in troubleshooting problems and preparing control and design change packages for equipment. What he valued most about the Special Operators Transition Foundation Fellowship experience was the DISC and Assessment evaluations, which bolstered his confidence while helping him learn how to best leverage his strengths in the interview process, and the help he received in reviewing multiple job offers and comp negotiation. Nick did all the heavy lifting on networking, but the support of the SOTF network of Alumni, board members, and mentor/connectors made the difference, particularly when things seemed to slow down. Nick shared this final thought, “Transition from the military is hard, but the support I received from the Special Operators Transition Foundation made the journey a bit easier. As an SOTF Alumnus, I look forward to the opportunity to help other Special Operators on their transition!” Congratulations, Nick, we are thrilled for you and your family! 🇺🇸
