@Silvano Elizondo, a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer with 23 years in the U.S. Navy, recently completed an ACP mentorship that guided him toward a civilian career in project management and business development. With a heritage rooted in Central Latin America and four Native American tribes, Silvano takes pride in his lineage and looks forward to discovering more. Reflecting on his mentorship, he shared: "ACP connected me with a fantastic mentor who aligned with my goals, sharing business insights I’d never encountered in the military. Beyond career advice, we bonded over family and shared interests. I’m grateful for ACP and Tony for this lasting mentorship and friendship." Thank you to Mentor @Antonio T.R. for your dedication to Silvano and his journey ahead! #NativeAmericanHeritagemonth #USMilitaryHistory #USNAVY #ACPMentorship

Congratulations to one of ACP's Active Duty Army Spouse Protégés, Chasity Yousif, who recently started a new role as the Leave and Disability Examiner with The Standard. Chasity shares her mentorship experience with her Mentor, @Brad Yoder, has been a game-changer. "His thoughtful guidance, encouragement, and wealth of knowledge helped me stay focused and motivated throughout this process. He also helped me gain the confidence to apply for a job within his organization, despite my initial apprehension about not having direct experience in the insurance industry. I’m beyond grateful for his support as I transition into my new role at The Standard, stepping into the corporate world and joining the insurance industry—something I initially felt unsure about but am now excited to explore!" Way to go, Chasity! #NewJob #TheStandard #MilitarySpouses #ACPMentor
