In this milestone 50th episode of VET S.O.S., hosts Shawn and Mark celebrate a significant achievement by welcoming Brace McCoy, veteran and founder of the Veteran Email Program. Brace dives deep into the motivation and development of this groundbreaking initiative, designed to empower veterans in their career transitions. The Veteran Email Program offers personalized email addresses ending in .vet, allowing veterans to proudly showcase their service in professional settings, resumes, and networking opportunities.
Brace shares his personal journey from serving in the military to working in the financial defense and consumer firearm markets, and how a moment of reflection and prayer inspired him to create the Veteran Email Program. He highlights the ease of signing up, which requires only a DD-214 or similar document, and the program's benefits, including unlimited storage, professional branding, and affordability. Brace also discusses the challenges he’s faced in integrating the program with the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and his strategic use of social media and word-of-mouth to expand awareness.
Throughout the conversation, Shawn and Mark explore how the Veteran Email Program can be utilized beyond job searches—helping veterans build credibility in sales roles, entrepreneurial ventures, and long-term career growth. Brace emphasizes the program's simplicity and how it fills a critical gap for veterans seeking professional distinction.
