Military Alumni Groups
Groups and fraternal organizations have connected veterans (military "alumni") since the Revolution.
These groups are great networking - for the transition to civilian employment and for succeeding in the civilian career that follows. It's good to connect with people who have similar experiences and similar training. It's also very good to share experiences, learning and helping each other succeed.
The groups listed below cover a single Service or a unit in one of the Services, like a ship or a division.
They are organized by Service.
The contact information provided is a link to a website or a Yahoo! Group, currently, but you may also find military alumni groups on social networks like LinkedIn, Google Groups, and even MeetUp.com meetings.
Several major national groups cover all of the Services (link at bottom of the chart), and some cover a few of the Services.
Choose the the group description that interests you to see the groups we've found for that group or Service.
If you know of an active group that is not included in the links below, please let us know by sending the URL to feedback at Job-Hunt.org so we can share it with others.
