Success Stories

Read the real stories of Veterans, Military Spouses, and Mentors who’ve turned connection into career-changing impact.

Patric's Story

From Partnership to Progress

There’s a universal truth we all learn in childhood: Sometimes it takes a few tries to get things right. It’s one of those lessons that greets us at every stage of life, from mastering tying our shoelaces to finding the right career. When making a major life transition like retiring from the military, it helps to maintain that persistence and patience until you settle into a path that feels right for you and your family. One of the best things you can do as a transitioning service member is find a guide who can help you evaluate your options and course-correct if things go awry.

Adam's Story

From Teaching to Triumph

Twenty years ago, you could walk into almost any business with your ill-fitting blazer and stack of resumes printed out on cream-colored cardstock and have a new job within a couple of weeks. That process has changed, and personal branding has become an essential element of any successful job search. One of the best ways to discover and refine your unique brand, as U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Adam Points discovered over the past year, is a no-cost, personalized career mentorship through ACP.

Casey's Story

From Inspiration to Impact

What if you did everything “right,” but had to create a new career from scratch every few years? What if your own goals always seemed to take a backseat to interstate moves, a spouse’s grueling schedule, and little access to affordable childcare — and you weren’t even sure what those goals should look like? That’s where Casey McClosky found herself when, in 2023, she submitted an application for ACP’s Active Duty Spouse mentoring program.
