Last month, I got a late-night text (9:42 PM) from a Cyber Engineer I’d placed with a Tech GOVCON client a year ago. He was stressed! TS/SCI-FSP clearance Sharp as a tack Navy veteran the kind of guy who kicked down doors and could lock down a network blindfolded. Candidate: “Justin, I’m out bro. Submitted my notice today.” Me: “What!? They loved you. What happened?” Candidate: “They’ve been dumping a ton of extra work on me—stuff not even in my lane. no raise no backup just ‘deal with it I’m fried. Found something else.” I dug deeper. Reached out to my contact at the company—an Executive Leader there who had raved about how much impact he had brought to their organization. Me: “You lost your top cyber guy man? What happened?” EL: “Yeah, hate to see him go. The budget's locked, though. Couldn’t up his pay $25k, and deadlines are brutal.” Me: “You couldn’t up his pay? Cleared talent with a Full Scope Poly isn’t sitting around waiting for you to call.” EL: “We’ll find another. Plenty out there, right?” Me: Nope. Not even close to his expertise. EL: “Can you start a search for us today?” Me: “Based on the new individual's salary you do know that will cost at least $40k, right? Here’s my take: Exceptional talent is an investment You know what you have. If they are good, I-N-V-E-S-T in them! Hiring new talent may be a gamble. It also takes most new talent a month or two to ramp up to full speed. Just because you may save $25K-$50K in this scenario over the first few months, if you hire bad, you LOSE. If you hire bad the second time, you may need to phone a friend. RANT: TS/SCI+ pros—developers, engineers, data scientists, cyber experts—they’re not plug-and-play. You don’t just “find another” when you’ve got someone vetted to the hilt who delivers. Burn them out, and they will bolt. Fast. Takeaway? Invest and retain in your great talent. Cleared talent is literally gold in GOVCON. Overwork them without respect or reward, and you’re not just losing 1 hire, maybe more. They’ve got options, Northern Virginia, DC, Maryland markets move quick. Value them, or lose them. 😊

I truly love mentoring! It develops our Leaders of tomorrow- priceless!!!

Early on in my younger days, I was taught that if you yelled loud enough your troops will listen and do exactly what you say. Horrible advice. I learned rather quickly that leadership was much more complex than yelling at the top of your lungs and waving your arms … especially during deployments. Let’s fast forward to now. Heres 14 key leadership mindset elements to creating high performing teams. 1.) Learning from my failures … take the time to identify where you didn’t hit the mark and how you can get better. 2.) Knowing my people and myself … so I could understand our strengths and weaknesses. 3.) Vision of where we are headed … so we could create a shared understanding throughout our team. 4.) Transparency … giving credit to others and knowing why and how I as a leader had come to a decision. 5.) Trust … place trust in those around you. 6.) Developing confidence … embody confidence and articulate your goals and decisions. 7.) Humility …keeps you grounded and connected. 8.) Creativity … canned solutions rarely ever make intended impact so, be innovative and creative enough to tap into your teams knowledge. 9.) Team Building … providing team recognition and creating memories of team togetherness. 10.) Letting my teams run … let them be their best with balance. 11.) Not fearing mistakes … and when mistakes are made, learn from them and empower them. 12.) Mindset development: train and strength your mind. 13.) Celebrating wins together … this boosts everyone’s success and increases momentum. 14.) Listen, listen, listen … less talking more listening, you’ll actually learn something about your organization. What are some of your key elements? #military #militarytransition #transitioningmilitary #recruiting #veterans #leadership #business #talentacquisition

A year ago ... I had a team member leave us because ... she needed more money to pay bills and expenses. I'm sure you experienced the rise in inflation. So, I went on the HUNT to help ... Sent out emails to colleagues and partners for their assistance. Tagged her in "Now Hiring" posts Made calls to get her Resume on the top of the pile. All while having several strategy preparation calls. Within a week ... She received and accepted a Sr technical recruiter offer from a SDVOSB Tech GovCon Company I referred her too! How exciting is that! Morale or the story ... Always be your best with those you cross paths with, you may be able to help them in their darkest moments!

They’re in your cubicles. They’re logging into your virtual meetings. They’re filling out your spreadsheets and sending your EOW reports. They’re part of your team—but they’re more than their job titles. Next time you’re making your rounds, in the office or virtually: Take a moment. Thank them for serving our nation. And then, ask them a simple question: “What’s your favorite memory from serving?” Here’s the key: Stop talking. Start listening. Behind every rank, patch, badge, and award, there’s a story: The late nights. The missions. The camaraderie. The sacrifices. These moments shaped the person sitting across from you today. Take the time to honor that. Get to know their journey, their pride, and their experiences. To every veteran who raised their right hand to serve this nation: Thank you! Hooah!

What’s your first thought when you notice a teammate in the office has "XYZ" award from their service? “Uh, no clue what it really means, so I don’t ask.” Then the assumptions start rolling in—some good, some not so much: “Hero.” “Probably saw some heavy combat.” “PTSD?” “Must be incredibly selfless.” “Dedicated, long-term commitment.” It’s human nature to wonder. But here’s the thing: Most awards or achievements from military service don’t come with a “what this means” guide. Behind every medal, there’s something much bigger. Something you don’t see at first glance: The story. And when you don’t ask, you miss out on an opportunity to uncover something profound. So, next time you see a badge, ribbon, or award, take a moment to: Ask about it. Listen closely. Soak up the details. It might be an act of valor, or it might represent years of steady, dedicated service. Because it’s not about the medal itself—it’s about what your teammate overcame to earn it. It’s a story of: ✔️ Resilience in the face of challenges. ✔️ Thriving under intense pressure. ✔️ Learning and adapting fast. ✔️ Leading with clarity in chaos. Those are the qualities you’ll uncover. And they just might change how you see that person—and how you see your team.

The darkness that once consumed me started to dissappear ... Starting in Nov of 2020, my life changed drastically ... for the good. Ever since the first day that my wife and I stepped foot into our Orthodox Christian Parish ... His light started to radiate and grow within me. In early 2021, we were baptized together ☦️🙏❤️ For the 20+ years prior ... I battled daily against "the skeletons in my closet" and somehow managed "the darkeness" that clinged to me because of the experiences I endured throughout my military service. I FULLY understand, why we lose 22 a day. Honestly, push-up video campaigns could never fix me. The once a year, Battle buddy status check phone call to see how I'm doing, didn't fix it either. and calling a 1-800 number, to talk to Joe Schmo, who I do not know or trust, isn't going to happen. Ya know what did actually fix and repair me? It was ... me ASKING Him, our Lord Jesus Christ to HELP me. Dedicating my life to Him. ... giving Him permission to work on repairing me ... and being at my side, daily. The story 👆 and the message 👇 is the most valuable treasure, I could EVER share with you. Anchor your life in God daily. He will guide you. He will fulfill you. He will provide for you. Put your trust in Him. Grow a relationship with Him. He will carry you when needed 🙏☦️ God be with you every step of the way.

I went to the VA facility to get some dental work done. Note*** I was wearing my camo hat with the flag patch on it. Just before I was about to leave, I said ya know: I'm gonna go grab a coffee and listen to some war stories in the Heroes Hall with some of the old timers. So, I did just that ... As soon as I sat down, a Vietnam Veteran evil-eyed me ... No more than 10 seconds went by before he proceeded to grill me ... as if I were a new private ... Which war? Branch? What kind of hat is that? What years did you serve? Disabled Vet? What percentage? Which Units? U Airborne? ... as soon as I said yea ... I was a "paratrooper" in the 82nd ... He instantly got red and told me I didn't know {_ h _ t} about being a paratrooper until I had jumped into combat like him. Note to self***Do not use "paratrooper" terminology again ... He spoke of Operation Junction City & Vietnam, his stories had me on the edge of my seat, 2 hours had passed before I knew it. I'd definitely do it again and it was an honor! Note*** When he had returned from Vietnam he made his jump school graduation wings into a ring that is today his wedding ring! This all went down in the Heroes Hall over coffee. Need I say more ... They even gave me a nickname- NEWB 💥 #military #veteran

“Isn't Michael Quinn and HireMilitary your competitor?” Back story … Michael Quinn transitioned out of the Army a few months after I did. While our journeys were different, they ran parallel in many ways. Similar in purpose, unique in path. We both shared a deep passion for serving the military community and connecting the dots that often get missed during the transition. Flash back to our first call together, nearly eight years ago … “Hi Justin - this is “Sergeant Major” Quinn” … I chuckled, this dude (LOL). Not even a minute in, he launched into a classic “SGM rant” - fired up about the broken transition process and already making it his mission to fix it. I nodded in agreement. My experience? A complete mess, but that story is for another time. Fast forward to 2019 (picture shown, that’s me #nobeard HireMilitary was changing the landscape of transition support for servicemembers, and Proper Patriot began supporting their apparel efforts to amplify their mission on base and beyond. I’ve said it a hundred times, if HireMilitary and Michael Quinn had existed when I transitioned, I wouldn't have chipped my tooth, and my transition would have been much smoother! Over the years, many have asked “Aren’t HireMilitary and Mission Box Solutions competitors?” I’ve never saw it that way. I’ve always supported Michael, Tenova LLC and the HireMilitary team - because I respect the mission and the work they’re doing. Why? Because we both fight for the same cause: supporting those who’ve served. Our mission at MBS is a bit more niche - we specialize in helping Cleared Tech talent, warfighters, and healthcare professionals land meaningful careers. #Employment after #Military service can be a difficult transition for both servicemembers and their families. But at the end of the day, it’s all about impact. Now, fast forward to 2025- #HireMilitary #Tenova and #MissionBoxSolutions are partnered supporting each other in connecting-the-dots for veterans, military spouses, and job seekers nationwide in landing their next career. It’s all about changing the lives of those who serve. People are the future. And those who served deserve the best of what comes next! Hope that provides clarity!
