 25 years in the Air Force didn't guarantee an easy transition. Nate Somers nearly left service without a job.VET S.O.S. | Military Transition, Food Security & Family SupportAfter spending more than half his military career working on policy inside the Pentagon, Nate Somers discovered firsthand how challenging the transition to civilian employment can be. Now serving as USAA's Director of Policy and Alliances, he's helping lead efforts to address those same challenges through Honor Through Action, a five-year, $500 million commitment focused on military members, veterans, and spouses.Recorded at MIC 2026 in Tampa, this conversation with host Shawn Welsh goes beyond transition advice to explore USAA's work with major corporate partners, Robert Irvine's efforts to transform military dining facilities, and why collaboration—not competition—may be the key to solving persistent problems facing military families.In This Episode, You'll Discover:Strengthen your military transition strategy by learning why Nate completed TAP twice but credits FourBlock's eight-week program, veteran mentorship, and professional networking with helping him prepare for civilian employment.Understand USAA's $500 million Honor Through Action initiative, including its three pillars: financial security, overall well-being, and meaningful careers—and how partners like Amazon, Visa, BlackRock, KKR, and Oracle are contributing.Explore the Fuel to Serve initiative with Robert Irvine, including changes to Army dining facilities, expanded access for military families, improved nutrition, and plans to address school meals.Identify emerging opportunities for military spouses, including USAA's efforts to leverage corporate partnerships, improve employment access, and simplify the overwhelming landscape of transition resources.Recognize why collaboration matters, as Nate explains how bringing veteran organizations, military spouse organizations, corporate partners, and government agencies together can eliminate duplicated efforts and accelerate solutions.One of the conversation's most powerful moments comes when Nate explains that Fuel to Serve grew out of a simple dinner conversation with Robert Irvine. What began with two people breaking bread became an initiative aimed at improving how military members and families are fed.It's a reminder that meaningful change often starts with listening, building relationships, and being willing to address the problems others have accepted for too long.About Nate SomersNate Somers is a retired U.S. Air Force officer who served 25 years as a Force Support Officer, spending more than half his career working on policy at the Pentagon.
