Committed to No Service Member Left Behind

As this year draws to a close, it's a time for both dreaming and forward thinking. I first off want to thank each member of the AllegiantVets team, your unwavering dedication and leadership underscores our commitment and fuels our collective mission. We would be nowhere with out you!

No man left behind right? As I've previously mentioned I remember the overwhelming sense of being on my own, away from the structured life and the brotherhood of the Marines. This personal experience has fueled me and?my passion for ensuring that no other service member has to navigate the transition to the 1st Civ Div alone. It's a stark realization that led me to one conclusion: every service member not only deserves but needs a Skillbridge opportunity. It's essential!

Our Skillbridge program and our future AllegiantVETS Success Centers represent our commitment to changing the status quo. They are beacons of hope and pillars of support, offering a structured, comprehensive transition that EVERY service member should have access to. These initiatives aren't just about resources; they're about fundamentally changing the transition narrative from one of uncertainty, to one of empowerment and preparedness.

Having experienced the loneliness and uncertainty of transition, I can't stress enough the importance of a program like Skillbridge. It provides the structure, support, and opportunities necessary for a successful transition to civilian life. It's about giving service members a leg up in their next chapter, equipping them with the tools, skills, and network they need to thrive.

As we enter the holiday season, let's reflect on our own wins and the successes we've witnessed within our community. Consider the challenges you’ve faced and the growth experienced. I invite you to share your stories with us. How has your transition been? And more importantly, how has Skillbridge or a similar opportunity changed your trajectory? Your experiences help share the critical need for structured transition programs.

Looking ahead, let's band together to ensure that every service member has access to the opportunities they need to be successful as a civilian. A structured, supportive transition isn't just beneficial; it's necessary for the well-being, success, and future of our service members.

Cheers to a holiday season filled with love and joy, and a new year that sees every service member transition with the confidence, support, and opportunities they need for success.?

Always by Your Side,

Marcus Haney
