Navigating Transitions: Coffee Bunker’s Mission to Transform Military Transitions
In this episode of the VET S.O.S. Podcast, we’re thrilled to spotlight
the transformative work being done at the Coffee Bunker, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to supporting veterans, military professionals,
and their families. Donna Rogers, a retired career tech counselor with
over 32 years of experience, and Robby Hedrick, a dual-service veteran
of the Air Force and Army, join us to share their journeys and the
pivotal role the Coffee Bunker plays in empowering the military
community.
Donna shares heartfelt stories about her upbringing as an Army dependent
and her father's challenging transition from military to civilian life,
which inspired her to dedicate her post-retirement career to helping
veterans succeed. Robby opens up about his own transitions between
branches of service and the obstacles he faced adjusting to civilian
life, emphasizing the importance of mentorship, tailored support, and
community.
We delve into how the Coffee Bunker goes beyond providing a safe space
for veterans to connect. From resume workshops and job preparation to
personalized career counseling and education planning, this organization
meets veterans where they are and helps them build pathways to success.
Hear about their mission to combat veteran isolation with a warm,
welcoming space and a cup of coffee—and how they’re creating a ripple
effect of positive change in Tulsa and beyond.
This episode is a must-listen for veterans, military spouses, employers,
and anyone passionate about supporting those who have served. Discover
practical tips for transitioning to civilian life, learn about the
resources available to military families, and gain valuable insights
into why hiring veterans is a win-win for businesses and communities
alike.
Key Takeaways:
- The importance of community in the veteran transition process.
- How to translate military skills into civilian career success.
