Good afternoon Mr. Apperson,
Thank you for your years of service! I do not have any specific advice to give regarding a job in your area/area of expertise, however, I wanted to give you my information if I can ever be of service to you. I work in Human Resources in acute-care hospitals, in Texas. My e-mail is byron.moore@gmail.com if you ever experience questions regarding the civilian corporate world that I can answer.

Thank you,
Byron Moore

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your service in the Navy! I wanted to share some information with you about ACP's Mentoring Program. This program pairs you with a corporate professional for a year-long mentorship of one-on-one dialogue with a Mentor. A Mentor would be able to help you translate your Military experience into civilian management terms to build a resume, explore careers that would align with your leadership, HR, and maintenance skills, build a network of contacts within that field, help you prepare for interviews, and guide you as you transition into a new position.

I encourage you to check it out on our website: http://acp-usa.org/Mentoring_Program, and let us know if you have any other questions!

All the best,
Chelsea
