Orion has been extremely helpful with helping me find my new job and have gone above and beyond with everything!

- Nuclear Machinist's Mate, US Navy

The entire process for me was quick, and I had several individuals with Orion that reached out daily and kept me updated on the process. In addition, Orion checked in on me to see how my transition out the military was going and how my goals were being accomplished. I do not have a bad word to say - they were essential to my success and transition!
