Friendly Forces Updates
The Ever-Changing Landscape of Military Leave Policies
Employer policies aren't static. Companies frequently update them—sometimes enhancing benefits, other times imposing new restrictions. These changes can significantly impact reservists. To ensure our Friendly Forces database remains accurate and helpful, we rely on your input. If your employer has recently modified their military leave policy, please inform us at [email protected]. Your insights help us keep our community informed and empowered.
=======================================================
And, as always, we want to get more companies added to the Friendlies List to best service the Reservist community.
Good or bad, reach out and let us know your company’s policy. If it’s good—we want to add them to our list. If it’s bad, we want to partner and help them—and you.
Reach out to [email protected] to submit.
Shift will TRAIN you, then get you HIRED
Career Transition: Shift
Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging. The Shift program is designed to ease this process by connecting veterans with career opportunities in various industries. Shift offers tailored resources, mentorship, and job placement assistance to help you navigate your next career move. Whether you're exploring new fields or seeking roles that align with your military experience, Shift provides the support you need. Learn more and sign up here.
Spotlight: Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN)
Child care is a critical concern for many military families. The Department of Defense's Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) program offers fee assistance to eligible families who cannot access on-base child care due to distance or waitlists. This initiative helps offset the cost of community-based child care, making quality care more affordable. To learn more and apply, visit MilitaryChildCare.com.
The site says Guard and Reserve on Active Duty can use it, however I know TPU soldiers that use it, so check it out.
The Fratty Guard Updates
The Fratty Guard: New Merchandise and Updates
We’re workin’ some cool collabs already with some units and generally just dropping dank merch all the time. If you want to see a particular item, hit us up. A lot of you have absolutely dogshit ideas, but occasionally there’s a good one.
