​October has a way of reminding us to slow down and take stock of the people beside us, the growth behind us, and the opportunities still ahead. At EMS US, we focus on this through the stories shared between mentors and service members, in the career doors that have opened, and the sense of direction that comes from being seen and guided by someone who has been there.

Executives Mentoring Soldiers is built on people.
On those who choose to give their time, their experience, and their belief in others. Each conversation, introduction, and bit of advice all adds up to something bigger. Momentum that changes lives long after a mentorship ends.

As we continue to move through October, I just want to say thank you to every mentor who shows up without expectation, and to every service member who takes that next step with courage. You’re the reason this mission matters, and the reason it continues to grow.

With gratitude,

Corey M. Hayes

At EMS US, we see the difference every connection makes. Service members gain confidence in their next steps, mentors find purpose in giving back, and together we’re building a stronger community.

This mission is only possible because of people like you.

If you’ve ever considered getting more involved, there are so many ways to join us: volunteer your time, become a mentor, sponsor an event, or simply help us spread the word.

Every contribution helps us strengthen the bridge between service members and the civilian workforce, and ensures that everyone involved continues to grow together. Thank you for being a vital part of this community. Together, we’re not only changing lives—we’re building a legacy of support, opportunity, and connection.

With gratitude,

At EMS US, we believe the impact of our mission can be seen not only in the stories we share, but in the numbers that back them up—and the numbers speak volumes.
     •  Over 89% of service members report high satisfaction with EMS US.
​     •  100% of service members who complete our mentorship program say they would recommend EMS US to others in uniform and their spouses.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Our mentors, leaders from across a wide range of industries, are also experiencing the rewards of connection and purpose:
     •  100% of our mentors say their involvement with EMS US has led to personal and professional growth.

These numbers confirm what we already know: when service members and mentors connect with purpose, everyone wins.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we are creating opportunities, building relationships, and making a lasting impact.

With gratitude,

To our service members and spouses, you are the heart of our mission. Executives Mentoring Soldiers is about honoring your leadership during service and empowering your leadership in the civilian world. Your stories and feedback continue to drive our efforts in making this program something powerful.

Executive mentoring for our service members and spouses isn’t just your willingness to show up, guide, and walk alongside these leaders, we are changing lives. The feedback from our service members is all positive. The career trajectories we are influencing is undeniable: this is working.

We’re well ahead of the expectations we set. We are trying to build trust, confidence, for those transitioning from leadership during their service to leadership in the civilian world.

That kind of impact echoes far beyond one conversation or one connection.
