    Calling Transitioning E-6 and Below!

    Calling Transitioning E-6 and Below!

    Steve here from BTU. I live in Huntsville, AL and I’m trying to help the Chamber of Commerce connect with E-6 and below service members that are within 18-24 months of their transition window; that can be either be pre or post transition.
    The Huntsville Chamber of Commerce is looking to connect via Zoom with soon to transition or recently transitioned junior/mid enlisted service members to pick their brains about transition, what jobs transitioning service members are looking for, what's important to them, what marketing material lands with them, etc.
    Basically, there's a huge manufacturing labor shortage in the US and Huntsville has a lot of that manufacturing. The chamber is trying to figure out how to attract enlisted military talent that could step into high paying manufacturing jobs right out of transition after a little bit of training. For example, its entirely within the realm of possibility for an E5 to be starting a manufacturing job here making $100k; the problem is service members don’t know about the opportunities and local companies with manufacturing openings are struggling to connect with the ideal E-6 and below service member workforce.
    My ask: do you know of anyone in your network who is an E-6 or below within 18-24 months of their transition window (either be pre or post-transition)?
    If so and they’re interested, feel free to email me at steve@beyondtheuniform.org.

    BTU #465 - Four Thousand Weeks (Part 2)

    BTU #465 - Four Thousand Weeks (Part 2)

    This is part two of a book review of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
    I've read a lot of books on productivity, and this is by far one of the best I've read. Because it takes a completely different approach to our view of time and how to get things done.

    BTU 464 - Four Thousand Weeks

    I recently read a book that I love: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman.
    I've read a lot of books on productivity, and this is by far one of the best I've read. Because it takes a completely different approach to our view of time and how to get things done. 
    In this episode, I go through a tactical list he includes in the book about 10 Tools for Embracing Your Finitude. I hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

Best transitioning resource

I heard about this podcast from a service member while facilitating a TAP class, I have been hooked since. Justin and the entire Beyond team are my favorite resource to give out to transitioning service members here in Japan. As a fellow veteran I am grateful for the inspiration but as a TAP facilitator this podcast has been such a powerful tool for me. I have taken so much guidance from this podcast to pass on . Everyone transitioning out of the military needs to be listening to this.

A lifeline, and a charted course.

Justin and his team provide guidance, support, clarity and confidence no matter where you are in your military service or transition. A must listen for anyone transitioning, but also for anyone who wants to gain insight as to who they aspire to be.
Keep them coming and thanks!
