The story of a veteran who couldn't land a job—and built the solution
I was a nuclear operator in the U.S. Navy—one of the most technically demanding roles in the military. The Navy taught me complex systems, leadership under pressure, and how to manage multi-million dollar equipment. I was told the corporate world would be lining up to hire me.
That was a lie.
What I tried (and why it failed)
"Just describe your duties..." Generic advice that didn't understand MMN or EOOW meant nothing to civilians.
Generic templates with no military context. I had to translate everything myself—and got it wrong.
Weeks of rewrites. Every version got kicked back by recruiters. I was spinning my wheels.
I wasn't the problem.
The tools were.
If I was struggling, how many others were too?

Tools built for veterans
The existing solutions weren't built for us. They didn't understand that "E-5, MMN" isn't just a job title—it's years of training, leadership, and responsibility that directly translates to corporate roles.
"Your military experience is valuable. You just need someone who speaks both languages to help you explain it."
Not as a tech company looking for a market opportunity, but as a veteran who lived this problem and refused to let other service members go through the same struggle.
