“ATC was such an invigorating experience.”
Your experience leads you here.
You swore an oath.
You’ve answered the call to service.
Since transitioning to an all-volunteer force in the mid-1970’s, the percentage of Americans who’ve served in the military has decreased steadily. During that same time, the number of veterans in elected office has fallen to the lowest in our nation’s history. Though correlation doesn't equal causation, it’s easy to see how the decline of courage and political will from our leaders has followed the decline in elected officials with military backgrounds.

What gives you purpose?
Duty is more than just a word.
Be it two years or 20, military service forges lifetime bonds that are grounded in a commitment to mission-accomplishment. Success is a team game, and the mark of a good leader is someone who places the welfare of their troops above their own. You may have taken the uniform off, but you still carry that shared purpose and dedication to being part of something greater than yourself.

What’s the mission to be done?
You’re ready to lead again. Your country is calling.
Elected officials swear an oath just like members of the military. But what happens after that? Politics as usual. In contrast, every service branch has a set of core values that members are expected to live by. Imagine what our nation could accomplish if political leaders lived by those same standards. We might actually get leaders who govern with courage, integrity, and fidelity—not to a political party but to the people they represent. Upon completing Answering the Call, veterans will have a roadmap for how to best put their values into action through politics and civic-engagement.
