Without a doubt, there are truly some great resources available to active and Reserve component personnel and veterans. Of course, if folks don't know that they're out there, members and their families couldn't possibly benefit from some of these amazing offers and services. So, the idea here is to share those helpful tidbits of information, tips, links, lessons learned, processes, resources, wisdom and/or POCs to help members find the resources they need for their troops, their families, and to help themselves. Just a couple of quick admin notes, please make sure to share the source if known, and remember to post in accordance with RallyPoint guidelines. Well, I'm certain that will be a great way to get timely information, resources, and assistance to those who need it most, when they need it the most... so, if you have something useful, helpful, or good-to-know, please feel free to share. Alright folks, it's that time, so pull-up a keyboard and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

The Adecco Group established TAD PGS, Inc. in 1997 after acquiring TAD Technical Resources, which at the time was the country's largest privately owned technical services provider. TAD Technical Resources had a long history of providing cleared and uncleared staffing services to the U.S. government and contractors. As the Adecco Group was foreign owned, TAD PGS, Inc., Adecco SA and Adecco, Inc. jointly executed a Department of Defense (DoD) Proxy Agreement to mitigate foreign ownership, control and influence concerns. This enabled the company to assume operations of "Proscribed Access" contracts.

Our mission is to provide superior service to our associates and clients through best-in-class matching of associates to client positions. We achieve our mission by:

Listening to the needs and feedback of our clients and associates, learning from what we see and hear, and fulfilling their expectations with superior service.

Never being satisfied with what we see and always striving to provide more.

We are an organization owned and operated by Military Veterans and advocates committed to fair, ethical business practices and humane treatment of the Veteran and active duty service member.

*** Understanding Military Retirement Pay ***
The military retirement pay system used to be easy to understand: You put in 20 years, and you got 50 percent of your base pay immediately upon retirement. You put in more than 20 years and you got 2.5 percent more for each year of active duty after 20 years (up to 75 percent).

What do you want to do at Apple? When there’s an opening at Apple, we always look to fill it with the best. If that sounds like you, then start your search right here. Ask anyone here. It’s hard work. It means forever asking, “Why is it this way?” and “How can it be better?” It means rethinking every customer experience until the clutter has fallen away — until all that remains is what’s essential, useful, and beautiful. That might be a new product feature that delights even die-hard fans. It might be a customer support call, or even a display in an Apple store, arranged and lit exactly so.

*** Veterans Court info ***
When veterans return from combat, some turn to drugs and/or alcohol to cope with their experiences on the battlefield. Sadly, too many veterans end up in the criminal justice system as a result of their service. Veterans Treatment Courts give our veterans the opportunity to live a sober and stable life while restoring their military honor and their commitment to family and community.
