The intel I never collected was about my own future.

Why a 35F Intelligence Analyst started a company to walk servicemembers through the transition nobody briefed us on.

Why this exists

Nobody briefed me on any of this. One Staff Sergeant did, and it changed my life.

I served as a 35F, an Intelligence Analyst. My whole job was knowing things before anybody else did and briefing leadership on them. And nobody ever told me the Army would pay for the certifications that could change my life. I found out because one Staff Sergeant pulled me aside and told me to go see the education center. I used Credentialing Assistance to earn my Security+, Network+, CySA+, PenTest+, and CEH before I ever took the uniform off. That was a five-minute conversation in a hallway.

None of it is a secret. It's just that our job was to be soldiers, not to dig through benefits programs, so most of us walk out the gate never knowing the door was open.

Within a year of leaving I was auditing enterprise IT systems, and after that consulting on cyber risk in the federal space. That wasn't luck. I had finally figured out how to describe what I'd already done in words the other side of the table understood.

This company is me paying that hallway conversation forward. I'll show you what you already qualify for, including the free stuff nobody mentions. I'll help you get the certs, get your service written down in a way a hiring manager can actually read, and tell you what number to ask for when the offer comes. You did the mission. You shouldn't have to figure the rest of it out by yourself.
