Happy Birthday to the Great State of Wisconsin! 🎉 #1 state in cheese production, which makes cheese our culture. Which some would say is the tie that binds us, curds are the whey.

Calling all veterans and Guard/Reserve members! Corporation is hiring and they want YOU on their team!

Oshkosh told us exactly what veterans can expect: a military-like structure, strong leadership, and outstanding military leave benefits so Guard & Reserve members can keep serving while building their civilian careers.

Current openings include Industrial Painter and Material Handler in Riceville, IA. Explore these opportunities and more on our job board:

Most hiring managers see "88M" and stop at "truck driver."

What it actually means is a soldier responsible for moving people, equipment, and supplies through hostile environments. Often coordinating convoys of 20+ vehicles. Accountable for millions of dollars of cargo. Held to standards stricter than any DOT inspection.

That's not a CDL hire. That's a logistics lead.

Every job card on the Semper Forward board has the MOS translation already done. Use The ROCKE to see which military codes fit your open roles: https://the-rocke.netlify.app/

Compare your MOS competencies against what this employer typically requires. Green = you have it. Orange = develop further. Red = gap to address before applying.

"Tell their stories and say their names so that they might live forever, through us."

This Memorial Day, read the Gettysburg Address with us as a reminder of what we owe those who gave everything.

What a week for the Semper Forward team! Emily Rocke was at the 10th Annual Military Spouse Employment Summit. Ensuring military spouses remain at the forefront of America's talent strategy is exactly the kind of work we show up for.

Meanwhile, Steven Janke was at Fort Bliss Annual Transition Expo connecting with service members and helping them take their next step forward into civilian careers.

We're grateful for every conversation this week.

Your MOS is the starting point, not the finish line. Translating it into action and measurable results is what sets your resume apart from every other applicant in the stack.

Here's what most veterans write:
👉 "Served as a 25B in the U.S. Army."

Here's what actually gets the interview:
👉 "Network and Systems Administrator. Managed network operations and cybersecurity for a 1,200-person installation, maintaining 99.8% uptime across classified and unclassified systems while supervising a 6-person team."

The difference? Two things:

1️⃣ A civilian title the hiring manager recognizes
2️⃣ Achievements that show the scale of what you actually did
